Elizabeth Cheyenne Hefner was booked into the Multnomah County Jail on multiple charges i

The driver, 23-year-old Elizabeth Cheyenne Hefner, was booked into the Multnomah County Jail on multiple charges including Unlawful Use of a Vehicle, Attempt to Elude by Vehicle and Recklessly Endangering Another Person.

Portland Police Bureau officers arrested the driver of a stolen car after she rammed into a patrol car to evade capture. Two others in the vehicle were arrested on unrelated warrants.

On Wednesday, June 28, 2017, at 4:05 p.m., Central Precinct officers spotted a stolen car being driven northbound on Southwest 2nd Avenue near Washington Street. Additional officers responded to assist and at Southwest 10th Avenue and Burnside Street, officers used police cars in an attempt to box in the driver.

As officers approached the driver’s side of the vehicle, the driver put the car into gear. Officers discharged pepper spray into the vehicle, but the driver was able to ram her way past an unoccupied police car and sped away northbound on 10th Avenue. Officers could see that the vehicle was occupied by the female driver and several male passengers.

Officers pursued the driver for several blocks but, after determining that no officers were injured in the ramming, terminated the pursuit due to the suspect’s dangerous driving.

In the area of Northwest 26th Avenue and Naito Parkway, the stolen car was found empty and officers began an area search for the suspect driver and passengers. Three male passengers were located at the McDonald’s restaurant on Northwest Yeon Avenue. The female driver was found hiding in a dumpster nearby and taken into custody without incident.

Not everyone wants to get out of their vehicle when instructed by Police.

 RIDE WITH AN IMPAIRED DRIVER, BUY A TICKET TO YOUR OWN FUNERAL 

PORTLAND, ORE. —  06/29/2017 — Investigators have learned that a 29-year-old female was driving a silver 2001 Mercedes 500 westbound on Columbia Boulevard and initiated a left turn across the eastbound lanes of traffic.

A 19-year-old female was driving a gray 2001 BMW 330 eastbound on Columbia Boulevard at the time the driver of the Mercedes turned across the lanes of traffic. The driver of the BMW collided with the passenger side of the Mercedes. In the Mercedes were two passengers, a 22-year-old male and a 23-year-old male, both of whom were killed in the crash.

The driver of the Mercedes has been identified as 29-year-old Amanda Nicole Erickson of North Portland. The two passengers that were killed in her car have been identified as 22-year-old Brandon Levison of North Portland and 23-year-old Donell Lee Wilkins of Southeast Portland.

The driver of the BMW has been identified as 19-year-old Lyabov Prokhorova of Northeast Portland.

Erickson remains in a Portland hospital recovering from serious injuries.

Once the investigation is complete, it will be forwarded to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office for review and consideration of criminal charges.

The driver of the Mercedes was transported to a Portland hospital where she remains being treated for serious but not life-threatening injuries. The driver of the BMW was transported to a Portland hospital as a precaution.

Preliminary indications are that the driver of the Mercedes was impaired by alcohol while the driver of the BMW was driving with a suspended license.

Both vehicles were towed as evidence.

Drivers impaired by alcohol or drugs injure and kill thousands of people every year. People consuming alcohol or drugs are urged not to get behind the wheel and should have a sober driver or utilize taxis, rideshare companies or transit so everyone is safe on our streets.

Preliminary investigation revealed that a 2016 Toyota Corolla was traveling on I-10 west at the 210.8-mile post and was sideswiped by an unknown vehicle that fled the scene. The driver of the Toyota Corolla sustained minor injuries during the crash and was later transported to a local hospital.

David Earl McGirt DWI negligent operation July 3, 2017, St. John Parish Sheriff’s Office

The Corolla was stopped in the left lane and the initial first responder on the scene was a St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Deputy, who stopped his vehicle behind the Corolla with his emergency lights activated. Moments later, a St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Deputy arrived on the scene and parked his unit partially on the left shoulder and left lane with emergency lights activated. While investigating the hit and run, the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Deputy returned to his vehicle to retrieve a medical kit; he was standing outside of his driver’s door leaning into his unit. At that time, a Toyota Venza stopped in the left lane behind the unit and was attempting to merge into the center lane.

A 2015 Kia Optima, driven by McGirt, was traveling in the left lane and struck the left rear of the Venza, continued forward and struck the rear of the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s unit. The Sheriff’s unit traveled across the three lanes of the interstate and came to rest on the right shoulder of I-10.

The officer, identified as Sgt. Stacy Lewis, was assisting with an accident on I-10 near I-55 when he was hit by a vehicle. He was airlifted to University Medical Center in New Orleans where he is being treated for a broken shoulder blade and other minor injuries. He is expected to be released today. Sgt. Lewis, an eight-year veteran of the department, was reaching into his unit to grab a first-aid kit when a car rear-ended his unit. Louisiana State Police is handling the investigation of both crashes. Below is the car that rear-ended the marked unit. The unit’s spare tire is on the ground, at the point of impact. The spare was secured underneath the unit.

The Toyota Venza received minor damage and the driver was uninjured. McGirt was uninjured and arrested for DWI, 1^st Degree Vehicular Negligent Injuring and Careless Operation. He was booked into the St. John the Baptist Parish Jail.

Louisiana State Police would like to remind all motorists about the “Move Over” law. Louisiana law requires motorists to yield the right of way by making a lane change if they observe emergency vehicles or emergency hazard lights activated. If moving into another lane is not possible due to traffic, the driver must slow down to a reasonable speed when passing the emergency vehicle.

If anyone has information regarding the hit and run vehicle, please contact Louisiana State Police Troop B at 504-471-2775.

Jasper County- 07/08/2017 — Indiana State Police report that a Kentucky woman found out on July 8, 2017, that when you text and drive and drink you end up in one place and that’s jail.

Trooper Zachary Beaver responded to a single vehicle crash on I-65 northbound at the 201-mile marker (this is four miles south of the Remington/Rensselaer exit) at approximately 7:20 a.m., this Saturday, July 08, 2017, morning.  Beaver located a 2008 Mazda, driven by a Leanna Murphy, 32 0f Walton, Kentucky, that had hit the cable barrier in the median at that location.  Preliminary investigation revealed that Murphy stated she had been texting and driving when she realized her car had drifted off from the left lane, she overcorrected, swerved, and went off the roadway to the west hitting the median cable barrier.

Further investigation by Trooper Beaver showed that Murphy had also been drinking/impaired.  Murphy tested a .22% Blood Alcohol Content (B.A.C.) almost three times over the legal limit (.08% B.A.C.) in Indiana.

Murphy was taken to the Jasper County Jail in Rensselaer where she was incarcerated and charged with:

Veteran DUI driver Rudy Isla-Mejico faces long stretch in prison for DUI fatal, killed Bob Arndt

From Jackson Hole News & Guide

Rudy Henry Isla-Mejico, 41, of Driggs, Idaho DUI aggravated vehicular homicide July 1, 2017, Teton County Sheriff WY

The man police say was driving drunk and hit and killed 53-year-old Jackson resident Bob Arndt appeared in Teton County Circuit Court again Thursday afternoon.

“I encourage you to hire an attorney before that date,” Radda said. “You can always requalify for the public defender. But based on what you testified on Monday, you don’t qualify.”

When asked if he would be able to hire an attorney, Isla-Mejico said yes.

“Pretty soon,” Isla-Mejico said in court through a translator. “I had an interview with my attorney this morning. I don’t know when exactly he’s going to come into court but I’ll talk to him.”

Isla-Mejico was charged with vehicular homicide June 30 after the Dodge pickup he was driving collided head-on with Arndt’s car, police said.

“Isla-Mejico stated he had consumed two beers,” court documents state. “Deputy [Bradley] Goering noted that Isla-Mejico’s eyes were red and that he swayed while standing.”

Investigators found open containers of tequila and beer in his truck, according to documents.

Robert “Bob” Arndt, 53, was killed by repeat offender DUI driver Rudy Henry Isla-Mejico on June 30, 2017

 Robert “Bob” Arndt, 53, was pronounced dead at the scene

From Planet Jackson Hole

JACKSON HOLE, WY – The investigation into the collision that killed Robert (Bob) Sumner Arndt is ongoing, but many are already feeling his absence.

“He had so much promise, so much left to give. It feels like such a loss to our community,” said friend Andy Heffron, a local farmer.

Arndt was involved in a head-on collision while driving east on Highway 22 Friday night. His Porsche was hit by the driver of a pickup headed west reportedly driving in the wrong lane without headlights.

Wyoming Highway Patrol identified Rudy Isla-Mejico, of Driggs, Idaho, as the driver of the pickup. He is being held in Teton County jail on two felony charges, aggravated vehicular homicide and aggravated assault and battery, and four misdemeanors including open container, driving without headlights and driving in the wrong lane. A vehicular homicide charge, state trooper Justin Gardner explained, determines that the drivers’ actions “caused the death of another person.”

“Him being drunk, driving down the road with his headlights off, had he not done that the other person would probably be alive today,” Gardner said.   MORE

Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers were dispatched to the scene at 2:12 a.m.

They determined a 2007 sport utility vehicle was traveling eastbound on Wyoming Highway 22 behind a Porche driven by Arndt.

A pickup, without its headlights on, was traveling west in the eastbound lane of the highway.

Arndt did not see the pickup and a head-on collision occurred.

After the collision, the pickup began sliding off the south shoulder of the highway.

The SUV driver tried to take evasive action and turn his vehicle to the right but collided with the passenger side of the pickup.

Troopers identified the pickup driver as Rudy Isla-Mejico. He was arrested and is facing criminal charges for driving while under the influence and aggravated vehicular homicide.

THE FAA AND ALCOHOL

The following guidelines were issued by the FAA in regard to Pilots. While it may be logical to figure that aircraft mechanics are just as important to aircraft safety, the FAA rules apply to pilots only in regard to alcohol.

Hard Facts and Erratic Effects

Alcohol is a sedative, hypnotic, and an addicting drug that quickly impairs judgment and leads to behavior that can easily contribute to, or cause, accidents. Its toxic effects, which vary considerably from person to person, are influenced by gender, body weight, rate of consumption (time), and total amount consumed. Consider these facts:

• The average healthy person eliminates pure alcohol at a fairly constant rate—about 1/3 to 1/2 ounces of pure alcohol per hour.

• Even after complete elimination of all of the alcohol from the body, there are undesirable effects—hangover—that can last 48 to 72 hours following the last drink. Symptoms commonly associated with a hangover are headache, dizziness, dry mouth, stuffy nose, fatigue, upset stomach, irritability, impaired judgment, and increased sensitivity to bright light. A pilot with these symptoms would certainly not be fit to safely operate an aircraft.

Alcohol and Aviation

The majority of adverse effects produced by alcohol relate to the brain, eyes, and inner ear— three crucial organs to a pilot.

• Brain effects include impaired reaction time, reasoning, judgment, and memory.
• Visual symptoms include eye muscle imbalance, which leads to double vision and difficulty focusing.

• Inner ear effects include dizziness and decreased hearing perception.

Pilots have shown impairment in their ability to perform even routine VFR flight tasks while under the influence of alcohol, regardless of individual flying experience. The number of serious errors dramatically increases as your blood alcohol level goes up. Some studies have shown diminished pilot performance with blood alcohol concentrations as low as 0.025 percent. If other variables (e.g., sleep deprivation, fatigue, medication use, altitude hypoxia, or flying at night or in bad weather) are present, the negative effects are significantly magnified.

Regulations and Recommendations

The use of alcohol and drugs by pilots is regulated by Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations section 91.17: No person may operate or attempt to operate an aircraft within eight hours of having consumed alcohol, while under the influence of alcohol, or with a blood alcohol content of 0.04 percent or greater. A more conservative approach is to wait 24 hours from the last use of alcohol before flying.

This is especially true if intoxication occurred or if you plan to fly IFR. Also, consider the effects of a hangover. Eight hours from “bottle to throttle” does not mean you are in the best physical condition to fly or that your blood alcohol concentration is below the legal limits. Time is the only real solution and, ideally, every pilot should strive for total avoidance of alcohol in planning or accomplishing a flight. Lives are at risk if you drink and fly.

John Giumarra III charged with DUI and felony hit and run for killing Angela Holder

John Giumarra III charged with killing Angela Holder while DUI and hit and run Jan 16, 2017 felony hit and run

BAKERSFIELD, CALIF. — Kern County District Attorney Lisa S. Green announced the filing of two charges against John George Giumarra Ill. Giumarra, 48, was charged with one felony count of hit and run (Vehicle Code section 20001) arising out of a collision where a death occurred. He was charged with one misdemeanor count of driving while impaired (Vehicle Code section 23152) with a prior misdemeanor conviction for driving while impaired. The criminal case originated from a collision that took place on January 16, 2017, on Golden State Avenue near the intersection with F Street. Angela Holder, 32, was killed in the collision.
The Bakersfield Police Department requested felony DUI charges and the felony hit and run charge. District Attorney Green explained why the felony DUI charge was not filed: “The law is absolutely clear that an individual must commit an independently unlawful act other than driving impaired, and that act must be the cause of death.

Giumarra did not commit any separate act that caused Ms. Holder’s death, therefore there was insufficient evidence to support the filing of a felony driving while impaired. A felony hit and run causing death have no similar independent unlawful act requirement, and therefore the evidence supports the filing of the hit and run.”

If convicted, Giumarra faces a maximum sentence of four years in state prison.

And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me, but let me go.”
