California Attorney Learns: “Handcuffs are not fun!!!”


The long time City Attorney from Lakeport, California, was arrested this month after his alleged involvement in a hit and run accident. A DUI charge indicates alcohol may have been the cause. The story is here.

The attorney is accused of drifting into a lane with oncoming traffic and colliding with a pick-up truck. Fortunately, the driver and passengers of the other car apparently suffered no injuries.

What’s particularly unusual is that the attorney apparently posted a comment on the Lake County News Facebook page warning others not to drink and drive because wearing handcuffs was not fun.

Good advice. The Center for Disease Control reports that 32 people per day die in the U.S. as a result of car accidents involving an alcohol-impaired driver. That’s about one death every 45 minutes.

  1. That is somewhat ironic, isn't it?
