    Who ever is in charge of giving bond to a DUI driver should be fired! This guy is out and will do it again. He is also laughing at the so called justice system.

    Are you kidding me…DUI ..wrong way driver ?
    He could have killed multiple innocent people..
    And he is released on $1000 bond ? How totally stupid ..
    He should have had as 7 days mandetory jail
    time ..and the at least $100 , 000 bond…

    Next day…He will probably not be do lucky next
    time..NO JUSTICE HERE..

    $1,000 bond? Really? Since he got off so lightly, what’s to stop him from driving drunk again? Next time, he may kill someone while driving drunk. What a big fat joke.

    Did someone drop the ball here? The victims in this crash were transported to the hospital with injuries after being hit head-on. DUI crash with injury is not charged? DUI serious injury is a felony. This with only a $1000 bond? Someone needs to review this asap and upgraded these charges if appropriate!
