7th DUI for man who swerves to miss elephant


A man was arrested for Driving Under the Influence in Philadelphia, pulled over by the police for swerving off the road to avoid an elephant! Now, I don't know about you, but the only elephants I’ve seen in are the ones in the Santa Ana or Los Angeles zoos, definitely not on an east coast highway.

When further questioned by police he made it apparent that he had smoked marijuana earlier, but unfortunately for him, it was also laced with PCP. Regardless of the method of consumption, the effects it has on the mind, are apparently severe.

Most people realize drugs and alcohol (or drugs and more drugs in this case) are a bad combination, especially for a man with several DUI convictions already, and even more so when you throw a car, a high-way, and hallucinations of elephants in the mix.

The few good things we should take out of this arrest is; that for one, no one was hurt, and two, he successfully dodged hitting any living animals. 

Imaginary creatures set aside, Orange County DUIs are as serious as any DUI in the county. Anyone facing a DUI should seek the legal counsel of an expert DUI defense lawyer, licensed in their arresting state.
