" It appears that there are an average of about two or more per day, assuming these are for the entire county. It's would be interesting if the ages of the violators were also published. "

" I have two questions for The Napa Valley Register:

1) You publish a breakdown of DUI arrests and convictions/pleas, but you don't correlate those to your listings of Last Name, First Name, and City. For example, you list "Young, Brandon Todd, Napa", but you don't indicate whether he was convicted or has pled. My questions are: Isn't this equivalent to presuming someone is guilty before or without the benefit of a plea or a trial? Isn't this tantamount to smearing those who have not or may not be found guilty or have not yet pled guilty?

2) You state in your Comment Guidelines that "Comments implying suspects in crime-related stories are guilty before they have been proven so in a court of law will be deleted". Aren't you violating your own guidelines by publishing names and cities of people who have only been arrested but not yet convicted or who have not yet pled? "

" napavalleyman:
The numbers listed are for 77 arrests in February and 61 convictions in February.

The names you see listed are for the 61 convictions.

Only when there is a conviction does the person's name go into the monthly report. "

" Thanks, Dan, for clarifying this for me. "

" who cares!!!!! were not the ones with dui's so stop complaining!!!! "

" Would you care if someone who had the same exact name as you got a DUI and put your name on the list ? "

" How come every single month someone has to ask the same questions on this article? I thought this article was pretty self exclamatory. "

" yA I DO CARE i AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAS THE SAME NAME. I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT I DID NOT GET A DUI. SINCE EVERYONE KEEPS ASKING.
EVERYONE THANK YOU FOR CAREING

" I wish the Napa Register would also print the police log for Napa, we see it for St. Helena, American Canyon, I would love to read Napa action, I know there would be alot. How about it? "

" people shouldnt be worried what others think, as long as you know the truth right>? "

" Napaao- your correct we shouldnt care what other people think IN A PERFECT WORLD. I feel so bad for the people that have the same name of the people that got DUI's. How embarissing. It can effect you in ways that you would think about. what would your boss think etc... "

" Let me know how not caring what a potential employer thinks works in your next job interview. If you can even get the interview. "

" Perhaps the DUI report should include age as well, that way your bosses and friends will know YOU were not the arrested drunk in the monthly DUI Report in the paper.

It still amazes me that 36% of the names are from a similar background. "

" The fact that this many DUI arrests where made should make you feel a little safer when you are on the road. Because it only takes one drunk to ruin a person's (or family) life. If these people do not want their names in the paper, call a cab next time. "

" Good work, Napa law enforcement. Let's keep these self-indulgent weaklings off of our roads. And to you Newcomers: drinking excessive amonts of alcohol is not manly, it is self-destructive and wasteful (and quite expensive). Get tough, get Spartan! Turn down your radios! Stop pulling your girlfriend around by the hair. Drink carrot juice instead. And put your litter in the trash can. It is noble to tidy up Mama earth. "
