The Lovelace Institutes, Institute for Health and Population Research, 1650 UniversityNE, Suite 302, Albuquerque, NM 87102, USA ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to determine whether convicted DWI offenders arrestedfollowing a crash differed in sociodemographic variables or drinking locations from thosearrested for other reasons. The study population included 3,650 clients who completed astructured personal interview during the period October 1, 1989 through April 30, 1994following referral by Bernalillo County, NM, Metropolitan Court. Twelve percent of theseoffenders were involved in crashes. The independent sociodemographic and arrest variablesincluded: age; ethnicity/race; gender; employment; previous DWI arrest; BAC grouo; vehicleage; city quadrant and times of arrest; drinking location; quadrant of residence; andestimated number of miles driven. About half of the clients (51%) reported having beendrinking in a bar. Drinking locations for this subset were clustered in several discreteareas of the city, and arrest locations clustered in approximately the same areas. Amongthose who drove >0 miles, miles driven ranged from 0 to 19.2, with a mean of 2.6 miles(median = 1.6). Logistic regression was used to determine odds ratios for driving impaired>0 miles, and for crash involvement. Analysis of variance revealed that among those whodrove >0 miles, those with BACs of >=.20%, those arrested from 6 am to 12 midnightand persons drinking at bars and restaurants drove fewer miles (persons arrested in thenorthwest quadrant of Albuquerque and persons who resided outside the city drove moremiles). The only variable that was statistically associated with having driven 0 miles wasbeing Native American. Crash involvement was associated with higher BACs, driving vehicles<10 years old, client felt intoxicated, driving between 6 am and 12 midnight, and beingarrested in the southeast and southwest quadrants of the city. INTRODUCTION Continued study of DWI offender populations unfailingly points to an expanding view ofits heterogeneous nature. Yet, studies of drinking locations and drunkenness have revealedsome patterns of concern to traffic safety researchers. The incidence of drinking in carshas proved to have an alarmingly high correlation with drunk driving, particularly amongyounger drivers (Snow, 1988; Snow & Landrum, 1986). One recent study found thatsignificantly more persons involved in traffic crashes had been drinking in unlicensedlocations than at bars or restaurants (Land & Stockwell, 1990). This may beattributable to increased police presence at licensed establishments, possibly preventingcrashes by arresting intoxicated persons before they drive very far. In the present studywe examine sociodemographic factors and miles driven prior to arrest in a population ofmixed race and gender, to provide a different perspective to this discussion. The objectives of the present study were: to explore the relationship betweensociodemographic and arrest factors; to estimate the distance driven between the drinkingepisode and arrest; and to determine whether convicted DWI offenders arrested following acrash differed in sociodemographic variables, drinking locations, and arrest variablesfrom those arrested for other reasons. The study population included persons convicted ofa first offense DWI in Bernalillo County, NM, Metropolitan Court, who received screeningservices at the Lovelace Comprehensive Screening Program (LCSP). METHODS Description of the Screening Program Individuals convicted of a DWI offense were referred to the LCSP for evaluation by theMetropolitan Court system (Bernalillo County, N.M.). This program provides assessment forthe presence and severity of alcohol- and drug-related disorders. The screening processconsists of a series of standardized assessments and a structured personal interview andclinical evaluation of the client by a Master's degree level counselor (Lapham et al.,1995). The structured counselor interview obtains information from DWI offenders regardingwhere they were arrested, where they were drinking prior to their arrests (the streetintersections and the quadrant of the city), and the circumstances of the arrest. Thesedata are entered by counselors onto a computerized data file. The study populationincluded all clients who completed a personal interview during the period October 1, 1989through April 30, 1994. Statistical Analyses We used logistic regression to determine odds ratios for driving impaired >0 milesand for crash involvement (the dependent variables were: whether the offender drove >0miles; and whether the arrest followed a crash). The independent sociodemographic andarrest variables included: age group (<31, 31+); ethnicity/race (non-Hispanic white,Hispanic, Mexican, Native American, other); gender; whether the client was employed at thetime of screening; whether the client had a previous DWI arrest; BAC group (<.15,.15-.19, .20+); vehicle type [truck, car, motorcycle); age of vehicle (year at screeningminus year of vehicle (5 or fewer, 6 - 9, 10+]; city quadrant of arrest, as reported bythe client at the time of the screening interview; drinking location (bar or restaurant,home, private party, other, which includes vehicle, stadium, park, movie, drive-up window,or work); area of residence; whether the arrest involved a crash; perceived intoxication;time of day of arrest (6:01 am to 5 pm; 5:01 pm to 12 midnight, 12:01 am to 6 am); andwhether the number of miles driven between the drinking and arrest locations was 0 or>0. In addition, an estimated minimum number of miles driven for each client wascalculated using the shortest road distance between the location of drinking streetintersections and the location of the arrest street intersections.. RESULTS Population Demographics The population consisted of 3,651 persons (59% of the 5,809 persons whocompleted the personal interview); 2,158 (42%) were dropped due to missing or invaliddata. Almost all cases dropped from the investigation were clients who could not recalltheir drinking or arrest location. About 20% of the study population was female and themajority (almost 60%) were age 30 or under at the time of the LCSP interview (Table 1).Almost 80% were employed.

The type of vehicle was unknown for274 persons (8%). About half the vehicles were ten years old or older, while about onequarter were under 6 years old. About half of the client population (51%) reported having been drinking in a bar priorto their arrests. An additional 9% reported drinking at a private party; 12% at home; and28% at other locations. Sixty-one percent of the population reported being stopped by thepolice for violations such as running a red light, speeding, weaving, or failure tomaintain lane boundaries prior to their DWI arrests. About one quarter of the populationreported that they were arrested following a moving violation, such as not stopping at astop sign or failing to signal a turn. Twelve percent were arrested because of crashinvolvement: 9% in a non-injury crash and 3% in a crash with injuries. About 3% could notrecall the circumstances of the arrest or the data were missing for this variable. About one quarter of the population reported drinking and being arrested at the sameintersections. Logistic regression analysis comparing those with 0 and >0 miles drivenindicated that the only statistically significant difference, after controlling for othervariables in the model, was that Native Americans and persons in the "otherrace" category were less likely to have driven >0 miles. The minimum miles drivenamong the 75% of offenders who drove >0 miles ranged from 0.1 to 19.2, with a mean of3.3 miles (median = 2.4). Those involved in crashes were less likely to be of Hispanic or Mexican ethnicity, morelikely to have higher BACs, and more likely to be driving vehicles under ten years oldthan persons who were not involved in a crash (Table 2). Persons involved in crashes alsowere more likely to report to the evaluating counselor that they felt intoxicated at thetime of the arrest. Crash involvement was higher among those arrested between midnight and6:00 pm, compared to other times of day. There also were statistically different crashrates among arrest location quadrants. Finally, persons screened within the last threeyears of the study period were more likely to be involved in crashes, compared with thosescreened in earlier years. DISCUSSION Our analysis demonstrated that a substantial percentage of clients reported drinkingand being arrested at the same locations. Native Americans and persons of other races wereoverrepresented in the group of clients who reported driving 0 miles, after controllingfor other factors. Since the statistical model involved 30 variables, 1.5 of thestatistically significant comparisons would have been expected to occur by chance alone.Therefore, this association may have been due to chance or may represent a real differencein arrest patterns. Persons who drove >0 miles before being arrested drove an average ofabout 3 miles; this driving distance was shorter for those with BACs of .20 mg/dl orhigher, compared with that of persons with lower BACs. It is reasonable to expect thatpersons with such high BACs would have drawn attention to themselves by erratic driving.These persons also were more likely to be involved in a crash, thus cutting short theirdriving distances.

It appears that police are looking more closely at Hispanics'driving patterns and less closely at persons driving newer cars, unless there was a crashinvolvement. The higher BACs among crash-involved drunk drivers and those driving in theearly morning hours has been described previously (Benjamin, 1980; Lang and Stockwell,1991). The higher crash involvement rates among those referred to screening in the lateryears of the study can probably be explained by decreased enforcement efforts during theseyears.

Thomas X. Carroll, 47, of 165 Paddy Lake Road, Oswego , was charged with third-degree aggravated unlincensed operation of a motor vehicle, police said. Carroll was issued a ticket returnable to Scriba Town Court March 3. Officers with the Oswego County Sheriff's Department said Judy M. Gleason, 47, of 26 county Route 33, Central Square , was traveling north on county Route 10 in Schroeppel at 11:35 a.m., Feb. 16 when she reportedly lost control of her 2003 Hyuindi 3/10 of a mile north of Oneida River Road. Police said the vehicle went off the west side of the road and overturned before coming to rest in a ditch. Slippery pavement appears to have been a contributing factor with conditions reported to be covered with slush at the time. Gleason was ticketed for operating a vehicle with a suspended/revoked registration. Officers with the Oswego County Sheriff's Department said William P. Deban, 53, of 5 Gregory St., Oswego , was traveling southbound on state Route 481 in Volney at 8:16 a.m., Feb. 16, when he lost control of his 1999 Jeep 3/10 of a mile south of county Route 57. Police said the vehicle crossed the median, crossed over the northbound lanes and struck a tree off the east side of the highway. Deban, the sole occupant, was transported by ambulance to Oswego Hospital. Slippery pavement appears to have been a contributing factor with roads reportedly covered with slush at the time of the incident. Officers with the Oswego County Sheriff's Department said Christopher J. Wright, 18, of 1634 state Route 48, Fulton , was operating a 1994 Chevrolet at 6:36 a.m., Feb. 18, when he reportedly pulled out of a driveway onto state Route 104 into the path of a westbound 1990 Toyota driven by Corina K. Welch, 35, of 2 Taylor Ave., Fulton. Police said the vehicles collided. Welch was transported by ambulance to Oswego Hospital. Slippery pavement appears to have been a contributing factor in the incident with roads reportedly covered with snow and ice at the time, police said. Officers with the Oswego County Sheriff's Department said Erin M. Crowe, 23, of 1304 state Route 176, Fulton , was operating a 1995 Saturn northbound on state Route 481 in Volney at 6:30 a.m., Feb. 18, when she lost control of the car, causing it to cross into the southbound lane striking a 2003 Jeep suburban driven by Carol A. Lamson, 51, of 702 Meadowbrook Circle, Fulton. Both drivers, sole occupants of their respective vehicles, were transported by ambulance to A.L. Lee Memorial Hospital in Fulton. View obstruction appears to have been a contributing factor in the incident caused by white-out conditions created from snowfall. Andrew W. Ives, 44, of 8 county Route 44, Mexico , was arrested Feb. 18 by officers with the Oswego County Sheriff's Department and charged with second-degree harassment stemming from a domestic incident that took place at his residence.

Besides mandatory fines, surcharges and possible jail, the NJ Court must impose mandatory drivers license suspensions, with no exceptions, even for people who must drive to work. The purpose of this site is to provide access to legal representation if you have been charged with DWI in New Jersey. While other attorneys claim they "specialize" in defending NJ drivers charged with Driving While Intoxicated, my practice is limited to DWI defense and defense of related motor vehicle violations. After twenty nine years of defending New Jersey drivers charged with DWI, it is clear that you can not win a DWI case, unless you make every effort to do so. We require that the State of New Jersey prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, prove that the breath test was administered properly, that the breath test machine was properly operating, that , that the police had articulable suspicion to stop the vehicle in the first place and probable cause to make the arrest after the stop. We will try all DWI complaints to a verdict unless it appears that a guilty plea is in the best interests of the client . Over the years I have been fortunate to serve as Chairman of the New Jersey State Bar Association Municipal Court Committee, testify in the New Jersey State Legislature to reform DWI laws, serve as a Municipal Prosecutor, have articles on Standardized Field Sobriety Tests published in the New Jersey Lawyer and train other lawyers how to defend DWI cases in various seminars, most recently in three seminars presented by the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education. I represent clients across the State of New Jersey, trying cases literally from one end of the State to the other. If you believe that your driver's license is worth fighting for, contact us immediately. Remember to give careful attention to the selection of an attorney, as proper representation can make a substantial difference in the outcome of your case.
