Former Partridge Family star David Cassidy, is in the news again for being charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) in upstate New York. It seems like we often hear about celebrity DUIs. But a DWI or DUI can happen to anyone. Mr. Cassidy was pulled over for failing to dim his lights. Unfortunately, DUI or DWI charges often originate from a routine traffic stop. Like Utah, the legal blood-alcohol content (BAC) in New York is .08. Mr. Cassidy's DWI tests showed a .10 BAC. Almost 3 years ago, he was arrested in Florida after blowing a .14 on a Breathalyzer test. Some states, like New York, refer to a DUI as DWI. In Utah, a DUI offense can differ from a DWI offense. Mr. Cassidy already has an attorney working on his case, not because he is a celebrity, but because it ensures the best possible outcome in his case. DUI’s can happen to anyone, make sure you get the best representation possible to ensure you protect your rights.
