Al Unser, Jr. Won’t Contest DUI Charge
This really comes as no surprise.
Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Al Unser Jr. will plead no contest to a driving under the influence charge stemming from a January crash on a Nevada freeway, officials said Tuesday.
Lesser charges, including misdemeanor hit-and-run, failure to render aid in an accident and failure to report an accident, will be dropped, according to the plea deal. Unser’s blood-alcohol percentage was almost three times the legal limit when he was arrested Jan. 25.
“It was an unfortunate mistake, but he’s learned from it,” lawyer Andrew Leavitt told The Associated Press, speaking on behalf of Unser, of Henderson. “He’s a recovering alcoholic. He hasn’t had a drop of alcohol since this happened.”
Before you get all bent out of shape, his plea agreement is a standard thing. He’ll lose his license for 90 days, pay a $1,000 fine, attend drunk driving school, participate in a victim-impact panel, and undergo an alcohol abuse evaluation.
The Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney says, “He got no special treatment.”
Well, I think anyone who drives drunk and only loses their license for 90 days is getting special treatment, but that’s just me. What say you?
