Christopher Dee Duran, 42, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail shortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday. He was wanted on a $250,000 arrest warrant, issued shortly after he was charged Tuesday with driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license and having an open container in a vehicle. Christopher Duran He is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges Friday morning in 3rd District Court. Because of his prior convictions, the DUI charge against Duran is a third-degree felony rather than the traditional misdemeanor. South Jordan police arrested Duran Sept. 12. The arrest report and Duran's DUI history eventually made its way to the desk of Assistant Police Chief Dan Pearson, who said he couldn't believe what he saw. "What does it take to get someone from out behind the wheel?" an astounded Pearson asked. "He's a walking death sentence for someone. It really makes you wonder what can be done to stop him." Duran was arrested after police found him passed out at the wheel of his vehicle, which was stopped near 10900 South and 3200 West at 2 p.m. with one tire on the curb, according to court documents. The officer who awakened Duran noticed a smell of alcohol, slurred speech and poor balance, court documents state. Duran allegedly failed field sobriety tests, and a breath test registered a .248 blood-alcohol level, three times the legal limit. South Jordan police allowed Duran to be released pending court proceedings on a $15,000 bond. If police had been aware of Duran's prior arrest, the warrant would have been much higher than $15,000, South Jordan Sgt. Dan Starks said. Just days prior to that arrest on Sept. 4, Riverton police also arrested Duran for DUI. As in South Jordan, he was released on bond pending further proceedings. He has not yet been charged with that offense. Ironically, the Riverton arrest — Duran's 12th offense — came one day after Duran told a judge he had successfully completed an alcohol-treatment program. Duran appeared in Riverton Justice Court on Sept. 3 on an October 2000 drunken-driving charge. He was brought back to court because he had failed to fulfill the terms of his December 2000 sentence in that case, a Riverton court clerk said Wednesday. At the time of his sentencing in that case, Duran was in jail on other charges. A Riverton judge allowed that time to count toward the mandatory two-day jail sentence. Duran was also ordered to pay an $1,800 fine and attend alcohol treatment classes upon his release. Nearly two years after the imposition of the sentence, Duran reportedly told Riverton Justice Court Judge Darla Serassio he had completed the program. Serassio directed Duran to provide her with a completion certificate, which he has so far failed to do. It is unclear whether Duran's extensive DUI history was considered before charging and sentencing in Riverton. Tucker Hansen, a contract city prosecutor for Riverton who handled the case, was unavailable to comment — as was Riverton's Serassio. Curbing repeat DUI offenders has been much discussed in recent months as grave problems with the state's ability to track, sentence and treat repeat drunken drivers has come under media and legislative scrutiny. "This is the kind of thing that has been a frustration to prosecutors, to the Legislature and everybody who has tried to solve this problem," said Rep. Lamont Tyler, R-Salt Lake City. In July's special session of the Legislature, Tyler sponsored a bill aimed at the complex problem of tracking offenses. Tyler's legislation requires all justice courts, run by cities and counties, to collect and report the same DUI data currently collected by state courts. It also establishes a single, statewide database within the Utah Department of Public Safety where DUI records and data are stored, and creates accountability by requiring the Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice to prepare an annual DUI report based on information received from the courts. "The new requirements for electronic reporting should make it possible for all of the justice courts to have the information they need to prevent this kind of thing," Tyler said. According to a Deseret News review of court records, Duran's first DUI arrest came in South Salt Lake in 1988. During the 1990s, he was arrested seven times for investigation of driving under the influence. The arrests came from several jurisdictions including Murray, Salt Lake County, Beaver, Bountiful and Sandy. In December 1999, Duran was convicted of DUI after causing an injury accident in Murray. Detective Rob Hall said Duran rear-ended a vehicle, which was then pushed into the bumper of another vehicle. Duran got out of his car and tried to run away from the scene but was chased down by officers, Hall said. In addition to his DUI convictions, Duran was arrested for investigation of having an open container in a vehicle in May 1994 and January 1997, intoxication in May 1994 and disorderly conduct in November 1995.

40 Ways to Beat an Illinois DUI - Illinois Drunk Driving Law -DUI Attorneys Dupage DUI Charges Wheaton Illinois                            Name:       Email:       Tell us about your problem                                     Or click here for a   more comprehensive form   40 Ways to Beat an Illinois DUI Ramsell, Armamentos & Klis, LLC MEMBER, AMERICA'S TOP DUI & DWI DEFENSE ATTORNEYS TM     1-800-DIAL-DUI© ILLINOIS DUI DEFENSE CASES            ILLINOIS CRIMINAL DEFENSE CASES   Hyperlinking widget for 1-800-Dial-DUI and dialdui.com Ramsell, Armamentos & Klis, LLC has used each and every one of the below items to successfully defend clients against DUI charges over the past 19 years:   ILLEGAL STOP OF PERSON OR VEHICLE – a driver cannot be stopped unless the officer has a reasonable and articulate basis to believe that a traffic law or other law has been violated. Similarly, a person cannot be seized unless a violation has occurred. WEAVING INSIDE THE LANES IS NOT ILLEGAL – weaving without crossing any lines is not a violation of the law, and a vehicle cannot be stopped for that reason. ANONYMOUS REPORT OF DRUNK DRIVING -- a car cannot be stopped simply because an anonymous citizen reported that the driver was drunk. STANDARD FIELD SOBRIETY TESTING IS INACCURATE – in healthy individuals, the one-leg stand test is only 65% accurate, and the walk-and-turn test is only 68% accurate in determining if a person is under the influence. Those persons with injuries, medical conditions, 50 pounds or greater overweight, and 65 years or older cannot be validly judged by these tests. NON-STANDARDIZED FIELD TESTS ARE INVALID – neither the Federal Government (NHTSA) nor medical science considers touching your finger to your nose, or saying the alphabet, or counting backwards, as valid sobriety tests. BREATH TESTING IS INACCURATE – virtually all experts concede that one breath test alone is unreliable. The Illinois Supreme Court has remarked that breathalyzers are not foolproof. Finally, breath testing in Illinois is subject to various inaccuracies, including a +/- 12.5% variance, non-specificity for ethanol, etc. BOOKING ROOM VIDEOS – Many police stations videotape suspects at the police station, where their speech is clear and their balance is perfect, in spite of police testimony to the contrary. IN-SQUAD VIDEOS – more and more often, the suspect’s driving and performance on field tests is being recorded; often contradicting police testimony. FAILURE TO PROVIDE SPEEDY TRIAL – If a client is not provided with a trial within 120 to 160 days of demand, through delays of the court or prosecutor, the charges must be dismissed. POLICE BLOOD TEST INACCURATE – Many times, police blood testing fails to follow prescribed rules of testing, analysis, or preservation recommendations. HOSPITAL BLOOD TEST INACCURATE – Hospital blood tests overestimate a person’s true level by as much as 25% in healthy, uninjured individuals, and are not statistically reliable in severely injured persons. BREATH TEST OPERATOR UNLICENSED – An Illinois Breath Test Operator must possess a valid, unexpired operator’s license, or the breath test result is inadmissible. BREATHALYZER MACHINE MALFUNCTIONS – if there is a malfunction or repair of the breath test instrument within 62 days before or after a suspect’s breath test, the results of the suspect’s test are presumed invalid. BREATH TEST OPERATOR LICENSE EXPIRED -- An Illinois Breath Test Operator must possess an unexpired operator’s license, or the breath test result is inadmissible. Licenses expire automatically every 3 years. BREATH TEST DEVICE NOT APPROVED – A breath testing instrument must be listed on the Federal List of Approved Breath Evidential Instruments and the ISP approved list of Devices, or the results are inadmissible. FAILURE TO PROVE DRIVING – a defendant’s admission to driving, without more, does not prove a charge of driving under the influence. INDEPENDENT WITNESSES – often times, independent witnesses to accidents, bartenders, hospital personnel and others can provide crucial evidence of the defendant’s sobriety. FAILURE TO MIRANDIZE – prosecutors may not use as evidence the statements of a defendant in custody for a DUI when the police have failed to properly issue Miranda Warnings. FIELD SOBRIETY TEST IMPROPERLY ADMINISTERED – according to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration, improperly administered field tests are not valid evidence of intoxication. OFFICER’S PRIOR DISCIPLINARY RECORD – a police officer’s previous disciplinary record can be used to attack the officer’s credibility . PORTABLE BREATH TEST INADMISSIBLE – Illinois law prohibits the use of portable breath testing results as evidence at trial in a DUI case. PORTABLE BREATH TEST IMPROPERLY ADMINISTERED – The manufacturers of portable breath testing devices require a minimum of two tests to consider the results evidential in nature. FAILURE TO CONDUCT OBSERVATION PERIOD – Illinois requires that a driver be observed continuously for a minimum twenty minutes prior to a breath test in order for the results to be considered admissible and valid. EXPERT WITNESSES – Expert witnesses are available to review the validity of breath tests, blood tests and field sobriety tests. MEDICAL AND HEALTH PROBLEMS -- Medical problems with legs, arms, neck, back and eyes can affect the results of field sobriety tests. Further, other medical conditions can also affect the validity of breath test results. BAD WEATHER – Weather reports establishing high winds, low visibility, and other conditions are available to explain poor driving or poor balance. LACK OF PROBABLE CAUSE TO ARREST -- A police officer must have specific and articulable facts to support any arrest for DUI, or the suspension will be reversed and the evidence suppressed at trial. ILLEGAL SEARCH – the police are prohibited from searching a person or the automobile for a minor traffic offense, and may not search a car without a driver’s consent or probable cause. Any evidence illegally obtained is not admissible in court. PRIOR INCONSISTENT STATEMENTS BY POLICE OFFICERS – any statement made by a police officer, verbally, in police reports, or at previous court proceedings may be used to attack that officer’s credibility. POST-DRIVING ABSORPTION OF ALCOHOL – the prosecutor must prove the blood or breath alcohol at the time of driving . Recent consumption of alcohol just prior to driving will cause the test results to be higher than what the true level was when the person was operating the automobile. INTERFERING SUBSTANCES – many items contain forms of alcohol which may cause false results, such as asthma spray, cough drops, paints, fingernail polish. These items can cause the breath results to be invalid. BREATH MACHINE NOT PROPERLY OPERATED – the manufacturers of breath testing devices have specified protocols which must be followed for a breath result to be valid. Failure to follow these requirements will result in improper readings. FAILURES TO PRODUCE DISPATCH TAPES – most stops of vehicles are recorded on dispatch tapes, as well as recording police communications regarding an arrest of an individual. Failure to preserve such tapes upon request can cause all evidence which could have been recorded to be suppressed. MISLEADING STATEMENTS BY POLICE OFFICERS – Any misleading statement by the police regarding the consequences of taking (or refusing) a blood, breath, or urine test will cause the suspension to be reversed and removed from the driver’s record. STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS – A misdemeanor charge of DUI must be filed within 18 months of the date of offense, or the charges will be dismissed outright. PRIVATE PROPERTY – a person who has not driven the car on a public highway cannot be suspended for drunk driving. FAILURE TO DISCLOSE EXPERTS – the failure of the prosecutor to disclose the state’s expert(s) will cause those witnesses to be barred from testifying against the defendant. LACTATE RINGERS – when hospital staff use lactate ringers during the treatment of a patient, the hospital blood serum results will report falsely elevated, and therefore invalid, readings. FAILURE TO RECORD CERTIFICATION TESTS – the failure to include the value of the simulator solution used to test breath machines will cause the breath test results to be inadmissible in court against the driver. FORCED BLOOD DRAWS – the police may not take a blood test against the driver’s consent where there has not been an injury involved, or the result is inadmissible.

Alcohol levels will tend to show up in blood test (including breathalyzers) first, then in urine tests. the police know this, and *will* let you soak in the drunk tank for a while in order to get the number in your urine test 'up'. they will also tend to videotape your behavior both at the scene (in- squad) and in jail, for use in court. In any case, there are at least 5 requirements on law enforcement officers in most (perhaps all) US states: The officer must have had a reasonable suspicion that you were violating the law. The officer must have either had probable cause to arrest you or needs your consent for roadside tests. The officer must tell you that you have a right to refuse a portable breathalyzer test. The officer must have probable cause before he arrests you and before he requires you to take a chemical test. The officer must give you your Miranda rights after you are arrested, if he is going to interrogate you. Most states prohibit the use of portable breath testing results as evidence at trial in a DUI case, in these states, once you are arrested and taken to the courthouse/jail, you will be administered a second, more reliable test for evidence, and the 'portable test' will be used to establish 'probable cause'. Most states also require that a driver be observed continuously for a minimum period, such as twenty minutes, prior to a breath test in order for the results to be considered admissible and valid. IANAL, and please don't drink and drive. jim On Oct 25, 2005, at 11:14 AM, David Farber wrote: Begin forwarded message: From: Bradley Roberts <br2@u.washington.edu>Date: October 25, 2005 4:04:40 PM EDTTo: David Farber <dave@farber.net>Cc: "Andrew D.

I knew he had come from a bar and had probably had at least one drink. They started in on the normal dui tests (speech, eye, coordination, etc) in front of me. I had enough time before this to tell him not to submit to a breathalyzer as they're inaccurate - he said that he was probably above the limit, so I told him that he could expect that they'd figure this out and he'd be taken to the police station for a blood test if he refused a breathalyzer. By refusing to submit to the breathalyzer, under CA law (or at least in San Luis Obispo), the officers have the option to place the person under arrest and take them in for more thorough evaluation. They did this - unfortunately for my friend, he didn't take well to being handcuffed and started to argue/resist. Probably would have been treated better had he not. Ultimately his blood was tested and was found above the legal limit. He made a bad choice and is still paying the consequences but no one was hurt. However, it should be clear that if you refuse to take a breathalyzer test, you MAY be arrested. Whether or not you've ever had a drop of alcohol in your life. Refusing the test is within your rights, but an officers suspicion will quickly place you in shackles and you'll be subjected to the more reliable (and repeatable) tests.

A local attorney (Santa Barbara) regularly takes out full page ads in local papers seeking DUI clients, but also advising people of their rights during a suspected DUI stop. One of his biggest pieces of advice: refuse under all circumstances an invitation to take a breathalyzer test. He points out that the portable technology is flawed and the results can't be verified independently (only a single sample). Instead, do no resist, if law enforcement insists, taking a blood or urine test. More reliable and samples remain for independent testing at later stage. Warning: refusing a breathalyzer test (but not the other tests) in California is reportedly within our rights; this may not be the case in all other states.
