Rolonda Watts Arrested For DUI in Hollywood By Laura Fishman on March 10, 2011 3:12 PM | No TrackBacks

A former New York news anchor and talk show host was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Hollywood on the morning of March 5, which will make her the latest celebrity to facing drunk driving charges. According to CBS News, the former host Rolonda Watts is now out of jail on $15,000 bail.

Watts is known for being a correspondent for "Inside Edition" as well as her talk shows "The Rolonda Show" and "A BraveHeart View." If she is convicted of DUI in California, the host could be facing criminal penalties that include imprisonment, probation, fines, community service, license suspension and attendance to alcohol education classes. Other consequences of a DUI can include an increase in insurance rates and issues with future background checks that could affect a person's ability to get a job. Hence, it might be a good idea for Watts to get a hold of a DUI attorney immediately.

Motorists traveling through Hollywood might want to be on the lookout for cops enforcing traffic laws in the area. Many people are arrested on suspicion of DUI in the Hollywood area each year. This includes Christina Aguilera's boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, who was arrested after failing field sobriety tests on March 2. As we reported in an earlier blog post, Aguilera was also arrested on Sunset Boulevard on suspicion of public drunkenness at the same time Rutler was taken into police custody.

Rolonda Watts is scheduled to appear in court on March 30, where the public will see how her case develops.

Alleged Drunk Driver Crashers Through Watts Healthcare Corp.

Alleged Drunk Driver Crashers Through Watts Healthcare Corp. By Laura Fishman on March 3, 2011 9:11 AM | No TrackBacks

ABC News reports that a driver will be charged with felony DUI after driving through a building on Saturday night in Southern Los Angeles. The most ironic part of the story is that the suspect allegedly crashed her SUV into a sober living facility while allegedly driving under the influence.

Perhaps this can be a valuable lesson to the people staying in the sober-living house, as they can still learn about the dangers of drunk driving through the real-life experience. Yet last weekend's crash is certainly no laughing matter for all the parties involved.

Authorities have not yet released the DUI suspect's name, but news reports say that the car slammed into Watts Healthcare Corp. Inc. on S. Figueroa Street and that five people suffered from minor injuries as a result of the accident.

What type of criminal penalties will the suspect be facing if convicted of felony DUI? According to FindLaw, a person will typically face a harsher punishment for drunk driving when an accident results in an injury to another person. The offense is most often punishable with time in state prison, along with probation, fines, license suspension and mandatory alcohol education classes.

As for those people from the Los Angeles sober-living house, many of them may now be a bit traumatized by the dramatic crash through the house. Victims of a DUI accident can usually file a civil lawsuit against the impaired driver for damages if they suffered from injuries as a result of the accident.

In this case, Watts Healthcare Corp. will likely seek damages in court as well. Since there are so many consequences to a DUI, the driver should take this issue very seriously, and contact an attorney to ensure his or her rights are protected.
