October 2007 DUI listings

The Napa Valley Register publishes monthly statistics on arrests and convictions for driving under the influence — and so-called “wet reckless” convictions — in Napa County. Statistics are published in print the first Monday of each month and online when they become available.

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

Convictions include cases in which 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: driving under the influence (Vehicle Code section 23152), reckless driving while under the influence (23103.5) and causing injury to another while driving while under the influence (23153).

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.

Arrests: 63

Convictions/pleas: 76

Reported blood-alcohol below .10 or unavailable: 18

Reported blood-alcohol between .10 and .19: 45

Reported blood-alcohol between .20 and .29: 12

Reported blood-alcohol between .30 and .39: 1

" Responding To The Alcoholic

The alcoholic can be your friend; an electrician, doctor, landlord, boss, neighbor, policeman, real estate agent, lawyer, restaurant manager, building contractor, dentist, disc jockey, bartender, veterinarian....and to help reduce traffic fatalities.

The alcoholic will not respond favorably to your position until he is ready to face reality and stop drinking. Based on his current intake of alcohol...I urge everyone to go to and to help reduce traffic fatalities by attending Al-Anon meetings in your area. There you can share your concerns with a group of nonalcoholics. This will enable you to find ways of coping more effectively with your friend's problem drinking.

Explain to your friend that the constant ingestion of alcohol can lead to high blood pressure readings, thiamine and other vitamin deficiencies, depression, liver damage, cardiac-related conditions, dementia and more. Indicate you want him around for a long time; his family needs him to be involved in their lives...Don't nag; just let him know you are concerned and want what is best for him. "
