 Posted: 07/03/09 12:12 am ::: Taurasi DUI? |
Reply  |

Per a couple of news stations here tonight - Dee stopped in a "DUI related" incident last night, at 7th St & Camelback here in Phx. I only heard part of it, but they said she was released to friends? Musta been Lauren and Sue.
Shit, Dee! Hope you didn't really blow a DUI - dammit. Not smart. At all.

Not cool at all Diana.
She could have killed someone, or herself.

To quote Diana herself:

If convicted, suspension without a doubt.

Can they really draw your blood if you refuse a breathalizer test?? I would think that is more invasive than the breathalizer thingy...
Uh, oh...I think Dee's in twouble!!!!

Hugely disappointed.
She was maturing so much this season in how she's been handling her anger with the refs, and now this. I mean, we all kind of assume she was out with people from Seattle, so where the hell were they when Diana decided it was a good idea to drive home wasted? What the hell.

Regardless, if she had enough alcohol in her either test can pinch her. The article on azcentral.com said the officers drew her blood when she failed to take the breathalizer. I didn't even know that was a choice. I thought if u refused the test, they haul you in to the precint...

are we sure that it was Sue and Lauren that let her out? Maybe it was Corey or Bridget..and Sue and Lauren weren't exactly sober themselves.

Each state has different DUI laws, but I believe this is Arizona's:
| Quote: |
| Any person who drives in Arizona has impliedly consented to a test of their blood or breath for alcohol content, and the arresting officer has the discretion to choose which test to administer. If the accused refuses to take a chemical test of their blood or breath, their license will be suspended for one year if a first offense, or two years if a second offense (within 5 years of a prior DUI offense). |

I guess I just liked to imagine Sue as the person who, even when drunk, gets someone much bigger than her to block the doorway and steal Diana's keys so they can call a cab. That's what point guards do, you know, they boss other people around and keep an eye on their performance level. etc.
I believe it said she was released to "responsible" parties, so I'm not sure who on earth that could be referring to in this instance.

It may vary from state to state. Not too many years ago drinking & driving was still legal in some places (like montana I think). Honestly, I don't even know how it works here in Washington... all I know is people lose their license and then you end up with people driving around with no license and no insurance.

sorry if I didn't clear. I meant maybe the reason they didn't stop Diana was because they weren't sober, and the responsible party was not them.

I'm certainly not defending anyone, but consider that Sue, Diana, Lauren, living and working in Russia are 1) pretty much obligated to drink on demand among certain people and 2) they are used to being driven around. I seriously doubt if any of them drive when in Russia. So they are in a habit of not driving and drinking on demand. So they come back to the states in a place where transportation is scarce and just don't think.
When you make her kind of money, a cab or a limo is by far their best option if they decide to go out._________________ "I was joking with her on the first tee yesterday.

That's the point. I know some pretty hardcore drinkers who all manage to not drink and drive. It just takes a little planning.

| Wow. I don't even know what to think at this point. I am so disappointed. I never minced words concerning anyone else and I won't with Dee; WTF? Really? My respect for DT just went flying out the window. I can not stand drinking and driving and can not respect someone that makes the choice that driving themselves home (or wherever the hell they are going) is more important than everyone else on the roads life. Innocent people drive on these roads, my family and friends drive on these roads, I drive on these very same roads! How would DT like to call my grandma and tell her that after she lost 3 of her own children, one to murder, one to suicide, and another child in a drowning at a public pool that she just wrecked into and killed the grandchild she s raised since birth? The very same child that chose the university she wanted to attend based partly on being able to attend games of the very person who killed her? I can not believe this. Maybe I am being harsh but I have lost too many friends over the years to be able to look past this.

| This is 2009. There's more DUI awareness out there than most anyone should need to exhibit common sense. It shouldn't require that much common sense to call a cab if you know you are going to have too much to drink.

I am sure she was cited for the way she was driving. And for suspection of a DUI. The officer smelled alcohol and took a blood test. She wasn't treated any different than anyone else in her circumstance.
There is a chance that Dee had a drink or two but was not wasted. Her blood alcohol level may not be over the limit. Her erratic driving could have been because she was paying more attention to her friends than the roads. It was 2 AM. Not much on the roads at 2AM.
I am not trying to sound soft on this. I echo Mandhi's and others feelings about drunk driving. There is no excuse. I have often felt that the charge for drunk driving should be equal or similar to attempted murder.
That said, I believe I will wait and see what the outcome is. I am not holding out much hope.....but I am holding some.
And if she is charged, knowing Dee, she will accept responsibility for her actions and face up to whatever the penalties will be.

Huh, the second article's been updated with more info. Sportsfans48, most of the posts here came before the additional info. In other words, all we knew was what's in the first article. 
So far, the situation would APPEAR (I am speculating, yes) to be that Diana had a drink or two and figured she was sober enough to drive. What the officer says about her behavior would seem to indicate she was at least clearheaded enough to be in control of her senses. Whether her blood alcohol was over the limit or not is, as of yet, uncertain. Hmm.
I'm curious as to whether she was with anybody or if she was driving alone. It's not mentioned in the article.
In any case, even one drink should mean people don't drive. Certainly, it doesn't make it much better if her alcohol levels were under the limit; I'm disappointed in her regardless. Sigh. But I do hope it wasn't a blatantly stupid decision on Diana's part. Just slightly less stupid.

I don't think she would be cited for DUI if it was under the limit. But in any case, completely agree with your last paragraph!  |

I agree, disappointed at the stupidity best describes it!
But can't say that in the past I haven't had two drinks after a game and driven home...because you feel perfectly fine but if tested the level here is .08 and that, depending on many factors, could be only one drink. It doesn't sound to me like she was wasted, but in this day and age just call a cab..or Aunt Jan with the mini van to come and get you!

I doubt that they drew blood on the side of the road. Most likely they took her to the station for that to be done.
It suggests to me that Taurasi thought she was near the legal limit. If you're borderline, sometimes the time between the stop and getting your blood taken at the station is enough for your level to drop below the magic number._________________ If you want a revolution, the only solution's evolve

| I'm a big Mercury fan but I don't want anybody to say this is alright after you guys got on here and blasted Kara Braxton. And no it doesn't make a difference if this is a first time stop or not. I'm mostly talking to Van who said LJ, Taurasi, and Bird were obligated to be party people in Russia. So. This really is the culture of athletics to go out a have a good time. You just have to know how to be responsible for yourself and others. I'm not going to judge Diana to harshly. This really could happen to anyone.

IMO...for whatever it's worth.......she screwed up, big time, am I disappointed? Yes. Does it change the way I feel about her as a fan? NO...I am and always will be a huge DT fan! Did I lose respect for her? NO...one mistake does not erase everything she has done with her life so far...we ALL make mistakes...(let he who is without sin,.......) No one was hurt, or worse , killed, and for that we all should be thankful.
I know that Dee will own up to this mistake and have plenty to say about it..she is probably the most disappointed person this morning!
ps....Dee........you're making it really hard for me to leave my signature up.
