November DUI listings

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.

" It's pretty sad that all these arrests are still happening. Alcohol abuse is out of control in this country. Until we recognize that alcohol is a dangerous "drug" and start treating this the same as other addictions, this will only continue. "

" How did this list go up on November 30? I can only assume there would be at least a couple DUI's on a Friday night... "

" HEY "BIlLy", this is useful all month for those of us who are not online everyday! Same for the gentleman last month who wanted it down. I drink I don't drive + it's fun to see who is stupid enough to put the 2 together. Not to mention INFORMATIVE to the community about the people around you! I have a child, I want to know who is stupid, are you on the list BIlLy? YOU GO NR! "

" If you drink don't drive. Simple. You take your child to a birthday party, and guess what ? You drink then get in your car and drive your child home. Hopefully you make it. What does your children think about drinking and driving ? It's ok mom and dad did it all the time and they survived and then your child does not survive. How do you feel now. "

" Yeh..hey Flibber sounds like you get a thrill out of others peoples problems. Sure they deserve to be embarassed but all month long. This gets more hits than almost any other story.This is why the great Register publishses it all month long ! It says more about the people here and the paper than anything else.Typical gossip ridden Napa full of bored people who like to readnegative stuff provided by a less than good paper. "

" BIlLy? why not all month long? What would be your publish dates for this information? PS you sound like you're a native Napan via your own rant. Why did you revisit this article if you don't want it up and are not someone who likes to gossip? Cause I bet you will reply to this. "

" Flibber. Just like you I have an opinion but mine stinks a wee bit less than yours. Being here 40 years enough for you??? "

" Obviously some you have didn't read the article. These are CONVICTIONS, not arrests. They were not arrested in November, this is when they went to court and found guilty. Please read articles, before posting comments! "

" The NVR should print the names of gang members and spray painters also.
Age should not make a difference. "
