There are moments in a person’s life when everything can change. For one 19-year-old, an alleged drunk driving accident that took place in March has sent his life into a potential tailspin. He is charged with the following Minnesota criminal offenses:
Drunk driving is a serious offense that can lead to serious consequences, and it is more common than most people may recognize. With a culture of happy hours and college parties it isn’t just what people see as stereotypical criminals who face drunk driving charges. It’s their neighbors, their friends and their family.
Not all scars are visible, especially among the men and women who have served our country in battle. Mental disorders are not the easiest injuries to spot, but with medical professionals’ help, disorders such as post traumatic stress disorder can be detected and, therefore, treated.
In Minnesota, teen drivers have restrictions placed on them that adult drivers do not. Teen drivers also receive harsher penalties for violating the law than do drivers over the age of 18. One such example is known as Vanessa’s Law.
There are perks and downfalls of being a celebrity. Sure, making blockbuster movies can buy someone like Al Pacino lots of toys, but that money doesn’t buy him or his family privacy. Criminal allegations can have a lasting impact on a person’s reputation and family.
Another professional athlete has found himself in legal trouble. Minnesota Vikings player Tyrell Johnson, 26, was reportedly arrested for suspicion of drunk driving early this morning.

The issue of drunk driving tends to get the public heated up pretty quickly. Minnesota has seen its own ongoing, passionate debate about DWI laws, especially with the recent changes involving harsher penalties for some first-time offenders and repeat offenders.
