The Napa Valley Register publishes monthly statistics on arrests and convictions for driving under the influence -- and convictions for so-called "wet reckless" convictions -- in Napa County.

Arrest information is from the Napa County Sheriff's Department. Convictions, names and blood-alcohol levels are from Napa County Superior Court.


Convictions include cases where the person pleaded guilty or no contest to one or more drunk driving charges, or where one or more such charges resulted in a guilty verdict at trial.
Vehicle code violations considered are:

23152 -- driving under the influence
23103.5 -- reckless driving while under the influence

23153 -- causing injury to another while driving while under the influence

The blood-alcohol levels provided by the court are based on a variety of tests -- some taken at the scene of the arrest or county jail, others through a later blood test -- and have not necessarily been proven or admitted in court.

It is unlawful for any person to operate a vehicle if that person has a blood-alcohol level of .08 or more, according to the California Vehicle Code.

Convictions/pleas ... 93

Blood-alcohol report of .10 or lower, or unavailable ... 17

Blood-alcohol report between .10 and .19 ... 50

Blood-alcohol report between .20 and .29 ... 25

Blood-alcohol report between .30 and .39 ... 1

" CammyCam: The DUI monthly postings are not the month they recevied their DUI but the month they had their court date and received their conviction for the offense. The DUI itself was most likely a month or two prior. "

" I think it's great the paper prints names of DUI offenders! I wish Sonoma and Sonoma County would do the same! It's good to embarass the people (to have their names published) Kudos! "

" I think you can take this out of the reads now, it is almost December and we are still looking at October DUI. While, I have to admit it is a good read. "
