College Football Player Dismissed from Team after Pleading Guilty in DUI

According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), DUI accident fatalities increased from 9,865 in 2011 to 10,322 in 2013. The NHTSA reported that the majority of DUI accidents with fatalities involved drivers whose blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was 0.15 percent or higher, or almost twice the legal limit. A 2006 study by the NHTSA estimated that there is one drunk driving fatality in the United States every 30 minutes.

Georgia's Driving Under the Influence Laws are complex. Georgia DUI injury attorney Shane Smith can sort through the intermingled laws that potentially create complications in a DUI case.

A top college football player in another state was dismissed from his team after he pled guilty to a DUI charge. The player, who was the top receiver on the team as a junior, was arrested after a police officer saw him driving the wrong direction on a one-way street. He pled guilty to DUI charges and was sentenced to one day in jail and two years of probation.
