Almost everyday for the last few weeks the local newspaper has reported on a series of DUI or felony charges in Boise. Is there an increase in DUI and felony charges or are they being reported because of their extreme nature or to fill space? Boise DUI Lawyers and Boise Criminal Lawyers see a steady stream of DUI and felony charges in Boise and the reporting in the paper does not necessarily indicate an uptick in the number of DUI and felony charges in Boise.
In yesterday's paper, for example, it was reported that on Sunday a citizen reported that a car had hit a stop sign in Boise. After finding the vehicle police reported that a bag was thrown out of the passenger window. They later recovered the bag which contained a six-pack of beer, but the bottles had all broken. Because the police could not tell how many of the bottles were consumed or open in the car, the passenger with destruction of evidence. The driver was charged with DUI, eluding the police and a felony parole violation.
Boise Criminal Lawyers and Boise DUI Lawyers can tell you that it is often the case that when someone is arrested for DUI or on a criminal charge that they are charged with multiple charges. This sometimes is due to the nature of the crime. Drug possession and paraphernalia, for example often go hand in hand. Sometimes it is the case that the offender has already been in trouble and by participating in criminal activity they are getting themselves in deeper. Sometimes the police will charge both what they see as the actual crime as well as a lessor included crime. This prevents the case from being dismissed if only the lessor crime is charged and not the actual crime.
