Cantonment Woman Charged With DUI After Early AM Crash

August 19, 2011

A 22-year old Cantonment woman is facing several charges after an alleged early morning drunk driving crash.

Keara Marie Duncan was northbound on Pine Forest Road in a 2002 Dodge Caravan when she apparently passed out while making a turn onto 9½ Mile Road about 3:20 a.m. Thursday, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. She collided with a 2002 Chrysler stopped at a stop sign. The driver of that Chrysler, 32-year old Larry D. Simmons II of Pensacola, was not injured.

Duncan was transported to West Florida Hospital with minor injuries.

The Florida Highway Patrol charged Duncan with driving under the influence, careless driving and no proof of insurance. She was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $250.

Duncan’s blood alcohol level was .125, according to the FHP.

    Very insightful David, to bad our judicial system does not have enough
    sense to make these kids pay for what they do, and put the money
    to such good use. Loss of their auto would definitely send a strong message. Money to a good cause is always a good thing.

    How many DUI’s did that last guy have that they got up off 97, I believe it
    was 9. Our system for dealing with incorrigible children with lethal
    weapons could certainly use an update.

    REGARDING:
    “Take these DUI licenses away and put a boot on their cars so they can’t drive!!”

    Imagine if they confiscated the vehicles of DUIs. Give the proceeds of sales to cancer research.

    Follow up by confiscating the vehicle of anyone found driving with a suspended license, no matter who owned it–only exception if it had been reported as stolen and then charge them with grand theft auto. Sell the vehicles and give half the proceeds to the officer who caught the re-offenders.

    At the very least, they’d have to buy another car every time they decided to drive after driving impaired.

    As to those who complain about the hardship it would cause the family members: blame the responsible — or irresponsible — party, the DUI.

    David for safer roads
    and well paid police

    Many years ago, I used to drink (get drunk) and drive. Only by God’s grace, did I not injure someone. I eventually wised up and decided it was not the life I wanted to live.
    I could only hope that drunk drivers everywhere would do the same.
