Nevada Man Arrested Third Time for DUI in Three Weeks
A middle-aged Reno man has been arrested for breaking Nevada DUI law for the third time in seventeen days. His bail was raised to $25,000. Furthermore, the judge ordered that the bail be paid in cash in lieu of the customary practice of posting a ten percent bond.
Nevada DUI law prohibits operating a motor vehicle while drunk or high. Even if you're driving safely and seem sober, Nevada’s “per se” law makes it illegal to drive with a BAC (blood alcohol content) or BAL (breath alcohol level) of .08 or more.
Once you’re pulled over by a cop suspecting you of breaking Nevada DUI law, you may be asked to perform some “field sobriety tests,” including standing on one foot, walking in a straight line, and following a close, moving object with your eyes. Beware that Nevada’s “implied consent” law mandates you submit to a breath or blood test if the cop asks for it.
