  • Sleeping Long Island Teen Arrested for DUI After Operating Tesla on Autopilot Along Connecticut Highway

    Sleeping Long Island Teen Arrested for DUI After Operating Tesla on Autopilot Along Connecticut Highway

    A drunken teenager from Long Island was taken into custody after police found him passed out in a Tesla that he had set to autopilot on a busy highway in Connecticut, according to the NY Post. 

    Nineteen-year-old Guido Reinoso Gallegos from Garden City was found slumped over the steering wheel as the self-driving car traveled down I-91 south in Wethersfield at a speed of just 30 miles per hour, with its hazard lights on. Trooper Charles Luby reported that he and another officer approached the Tesla with their lights flashing and sirens sounding to wake Gallegos, but he remained in a deep sleep.

    Officers were able to bring the Tesla to a stop when one of them positioned their vehicle in front, causing the autopilot to stop. They quickly checked on the driver to make sure he wasn’t experiencing a medical emergency. The teenager showed signs of impairment and did not pass a field sobriety test, reports noted. He was taken into custody around 12:30 am on Friday.

    Although Gallegos wasn’t physically holding the wheel, he was charged with driving under the influence because he still needed the awareness to press on the gas or brake if necessary, according to Connecticut State Police in a statement to The Stamford Advocate. He faces charges of driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, reckless endangerment, and operating a vehicle at an excessively slow speed, as reported by state police.

    “At the end of the day, you’re sitting at the wheel, you’re supposed to be able to drive the vehicle,” Luby said. “If anything goes wrong, you’re supposed to be able to adjust for that.”Gallegos posted bail set at $1,500 and is scheduled to appear in court in New Britain next month.

  • Man Assaults Drivers and Steals Woman’s Car After ‘Good Samaritans’ Try To Help Him During Iowa Blizzard

    Man Assaults Drivers and Steals Woman’s Car After ‘Good Samaritans’ Try To Help Him During Iowa Blizzard

    A man in Iowa allegedly assaulted two drivers who stopped to assist him during a snowstorm, reports Law & Crime. He carjacked one of them before being apprehended by the Iowa State Police using a PIT maneuver on Friday. 

    The alleged assailant, Jermaine Leatre Shetworth Ware, 28, is currently held without bond in the Polk County Jail. Charges against him include eluding, second-degree theft, first-degree robbery, interference with official acts, and operating a vehicle under the influence, according to records. Des Moines police stated that the incident occurred when a driver picked up Ware, whom they believed needed help, but he soon attacked the driver and attempted to steal their car. 

    After failing with the first driver, Ware managed to flag down another driver on I-235 and successfully carjacked them.

    “The victim saw the defendant running along the side of the interstate so she let him into her car to help him,”

    stated documents viewed by Law&Crime. 

    “The victim became nervous of the defendant’s paranoid behavior and attempted to pull over.” 

    When she managed to stop the vehicle,

    “The defendant reached over the victim, opened her door, and slammed his body into her until she fell out of her vehicle and into the travel portion of the interstate,”

    authorities wrote. However, the woman still had possession of her key. Ware realized the keys were missing when he tried driving off. He then

    “[held] his knee in the victim’s throat, the defendant began biting the victim’s right hand to get her to release the car keys,”

    they wrote.

    “The defendant was eventually able to take the keys from the victim and he got into her car and drove away.”

    The victim suffered cuts and bite marks on her right hand, along with redness on the left side of her throat. One of the troopers involved in the arrest said they used a PIT maneuver to bring the vehicle to a halt. Ware attempted to flee through the passenger door, but complied when the trooper ordered him to lie on the ground at gunpoint. According to authorities, Ware exhibited signs of marijuana use, appeared intoxicated by drugs, seemed paranoid, and was loud during the journey to the jail.

  • Is Tiffany Haddish Really Troubled? — Her Loved Ones Discuss Her Second DUI In 2 Years

    Is Tiffany Haddish Really Troubled? — Her Loved Ones Discuss Her Second DUI In 2 Years

    Just last week, Tiffany Haddish was cuffed for her second DUI offence, leaving her friends, family and fans worried. Shortly after a stage performance, the comedian was spotted asleep in the driver’s seat of her car. Hours after her arrest, she confessed to seeking necessary help. But now, friends have added that Tiffany might be truly troubled.

    Tiffany Haddish’s First and Second DUI Offenses

    Fame had never knocked on her door at a better time than it did in 2017. Following her “Girls Trip” feature, Tiffany Haddish moved from a struggling actress to a household name. She also became one of Hollywood’s best comedians who made history for her SNL feature.

    The actress went on to publish a book, sharing her life’s history with fans who cared to read. But as the fame grew, her meltdowns were highlighted.

    Last year, she was arrested and charged with DUI after falling asleep behind the wheel. This happened in Peachtree, Georgia.

    Just last week, a second DUI arrest was made; the video saw Tiffany Haddish being escorted by cops to a car. The Beverly Hills police had gotten a call reporting that her car was parked on the road.

    Tiffany Haddish Addresses Her Second DUI Arrest

    Hours after the arrest, the comedian attended to business as if nothing happened. While performing at the Laugh Factory in Long Beach, California, she joked about the episode.

    Much later, she showed remorse and promised sobriety. In her words:

    “I’m going to get some help so I can learn balance and boundaries. This will never happen again.”

    Long before Tiffany Haddish’s first and second DUI cases, she showed a drinking pattern. In 2018, the onscreen star unashamedly talked about how she drank all night. Hours later, the comedian gave a boo-ish show that left the audience mocking her.

    Tiffany Haddish’s friends Says She Might be Troubled

    After Tiffany Haddish’s second DUI arrest, her friends aired their sentiments. One person expressed joy in knowing that the actress was safe and sound. At the same time, the friend added that Haddish should have gotten a driver.

    The individual asked that the actress should be cut some slack. As per Page Six, the person quipped:

    “You don’t know what a person is going through. You don’t know what’s troubling a person.”

  • Not a Good Look: Georgia Prosecutors Want to Put a Leash On Tiffany Haddish’s Drinking Habits Ahead of Court Case

    Not a Good Look: Georgia Prosecutors Want to Put a Leash On Tiffany Haddish’s Drinking Habits Ahead of Court Case

    It’s strike two for comedian Tiffany Haddish who is in hotter water with Georgia prosecutors after her second DUI offense.

    Haddish, 43, was arrested in Beverly Hills California last week after a night out on the town that landed her slumped over the wheel of her vehicle passed out and allegedly drunk.

    The Girls Trip star, however, still hasn’t had her day in court in Georgia. She racked up a DUI charge in January 2022. Now prosecutors in the Peach State want a judge to restrict Haddish from using drugs or drinking alcohol, according to new legal documents obtained by TMZ.

    In Haddish’s Georgia arrest case, she reportedly was knocked out behind the wheel and had been allegedly smoking weed. She posted bond and was released but is awaiting trial. Now prosecutors want to restrict Haddish by changing the terms of her bond release and requiring her to test weekly for drug and alcohol use.

    It was a Hard Knock Life for Tiff

    While there is no reason someone should get behind the wheel and drive drunk when Uber is a thing, Haddish once opened up about her difficult upbringing. At age 12, she bounced from foster home to foster home.
    “You’re dropped in these strangers’ houses, you don’t know these people, these people don’t know you, you don’t know if they’re gonna hurt you, if they’re gonna be kind, you don’t have a clue what’s going on,” she told the Hollywood Reporter.


    “I remember when I got my first suitcase, I felt like I was a traveler, like I had a purpose, like I’m a person, like I’m not garbage, I got this — it’s mine, and my things are in here, and wherever I go I can take this with me and I’m going somewhere, I’m a human. I’m not garbage.”

    #Clique, let’s send a prayer Tiff’s way because where are her friends?

  • Tiffany Haddish has Another DUI Hanging On Her Neck — This Time Her Artest Was In Beverly Hills

    Tiffany Haddish has Another DUI Hanging On Her Neck — This Time Her Artest Was In Beverly Hills

    Tiffany Haddish has been arrested for the second time for a DUI charge. The actress was reported to have dozed off while stuck behind the steering wheel of her car, in Beverly Hills.

    About Tiffany Haddish’s DUI Arrest in Beverly Hills

    Tiffany Haddish was arrested for DUI hours after her performance at the Laugh Factory, West Hollywood, in honour of the Thanksgiving holiday. The actress joined in celebrating the club’s 43rd Thanksgiving feast, which is held yearly.

    Thankfully, the comedian who was right inside the car did not crash the vehicle, nor did she sustain any injuries. It was ascertained by TMZ that her car engine was still running while she slept.

    Following a call from someone who intended to report a packed car in the middle of Beverly Hills, the police responded speedily. A few minutes after the initial call, which was around 5:45 am, Tiffany found herself in handcuffs.

    The actress did not resist arrest. She sauntered quietly as the cops placed her in the car. Sources confirmed that the only charge against Tiffany Haddish will be DUI, plus she is scheduled to leave police custody on the same day.

    The onscreen star nearly repeated the same move last year in Atlanta. She was reportedly taken away in handcuffs after falling asleep behind the wheel. Like now, the police received information from a concerned caller. Peachtree City Police Department later saw Tiffany’s car trying to park in a neighbourhood.

    This did not stop the cops from charging her with DUI. In the legal files, Tiffany was accused of improperly stopping on the road. So far, the actress’s arrest has not been met with any acceptance or denial from her camp, as her team has remained mute.

  • Texas Enforces Groundbreaking Law That Mandates Intoxicated Drivers To Pay Child Support

    Texas Enforces Groundbreaking Law That Mandates Intoxicated Drivers To Pay Child Support

    As of last Friday, Texas has implemented a new law that holds intoxicated drivers responsible for providing child support if they cause a fatal accident that leaves a child without a parent or guardian, NY Post reported. This legislation, also known as Bentley’s Law (Texas House Bill 393), was filed on November 14, 2020, and signed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott on June 2, 2021.

    “Any time a parent passes is tragic, but a death at the hands of a drunk driver is especially heinous,”

    the Republican governor wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

    “I was proud to sign HB 393 into law this year to require offenders to pay child support for the children of their victims.”

    Under the newly enacted law, individuals convicted of intoxicated manslaughter will be responsible for child support until the child reaches either 18 years of age or completes their high school education.

    “[T]he court shall determine an amount to be paid monthly for the support of the child until the child reaches 18 years of age or has graduated from high school, whichever is later,”

    the text reads.

    The child support amount is determined by various factors such as the child’s education, medical expenses, and reasonable childcare costs. The child’s accustomed standard of living is also taken into account. If someone is unable to make payments due to being in jail, they may be able to arrange a payment plan.

    “[T]he defendant shall begin payments not later than the first anniversary of the date of the defendant’s release from the facility,”

    the law states.

    “The defendant may enter into a payment plan to address any arrearage that exists on the date of the defendant’s release.”
