Driving While Intoxicated In Pennsylvania - Some People Just Never Learn
On Friday, August 28th a Chambersburg, Pennsylvania man learned that it is not wise to show up at the local State Police barracks to pick up your friend when you have been drinking. Believe it or not, according to news sources Jeffrey Eric Coulter, age 46, was arrested for driving under the influence after he arrived at the State Police barracks intoxicated at 2:54 a.m. News sources further report that he was at the police barracks to pick up his friend who was arrested for DUI earlier that night.
The Philadelphia Dram Shop and alcohol-related injury lawyers of Reiff & Bily salute the efforts of the Pennsylvania State Police in recognizing that Mr. Coulter was intoxicated when he arrived at the barracks. In Pennsylvania, people who are harmed by drunk drivers may file lawsuits against irresponsible and reckless bar owners, as well as an intoxicated driver. Unfortunately, according to a NHTSA study, someone dies in an alcohol-related car accident approximately ever 30 minutes. Each one of these tragic deaths is easily preventable.
