Mark Walton News

Advertisement
According to shodell

New He got cut off while driving by a woman, he flashed his lights and told her, "Hey, you need to slow down."

From there it became a little flirtatious, a roadside exchange and the girl contacted the police stating "This guy impersonated a police officer," which he never did. Then the cops showed up and they didn't include the impersonation charge on the official report - the person close to Mark feels it's an overzealous investigation.

Mark never failed the field sobriety, according the person we spoke to, but they took him in because of suspicion of DUI. He blew a .059 which will be dealt with differently, but if not for the impersonation it may not have become anything at all since it's under the adult legal limit.

Keep in mind the media was already on the scene and a crime scene van was there also, so that may be why they felt they had to charge him with something. Also keep in mind this is from the perspective of someone close to Mark.
 
So did the police actually catch him WHILE he was in the act of driving or was he not behind the wheel of the vehicle?

I believe it wouldn't matter if he told them he was driving when they confronted him with the impersonation thing

hes an idiot, he's only 18, he should yes sir and no sir the police, the police are corrupt, etc etc....in my opinion everything being said is insignificant.

DUI/DWI and all variations are bogus and should not be enforceable. i mean, this is a law that punishes you for violating nothing but itself. No laws or civil liberties are broken, threatened or imposed on by a drunk driver. if a person is driving recklessly or speeding he/she should be charged as such but pulling someone over and imposing on their liberties because he/she may or may not get in an accident is just madness. it literally is minority report; where you are being charged before a crime is committed.

He chose to drink and he chose to make the bad decision of driving; DEFINITELY a bad decision but bad decisions are NOT illegal. i've had unprotected *** plenty of times and im sure many in this forum have as well. Bad decision but we all have a right to take risk until we impose on the civil liberties of someone else. the government shouldnt me checking to make sure we are all doing it right. No drunk drivers should be arrested until a real law is broken. You can argue he threatened the safety of the public, bu the public has no inherent right to safety - thats why cops patrol the streets.

Im sorry for making this political but it just always suprises me how we championed our wars with cries of "they hate our freedom" but we are so quick to give ours away at home. Also, funny how EVERY bar has parking lot...hmmm

Until you have your wife and daughter killed by a drunk driver, shut the F up! I love the canes, but if any player is driving drunk, and perhaps trying to grope women he forced over, he should not worry about football, he needs to worry about jail.

Forcefully groping a woman is assault driving drunk is....driving. Im sorry you lost your wife and daughter, i truly am but you should be screaming out against RECKLESS driving not drunk driving.

There are already laws for reckless drivers who kill people. DUI laws are special laws for people who havent broken any laws yet.

In this Country, if you have a permit you can walk around with a concealed weapon (some states you dont need a permit) and it is perfectly legal as is drinking. But what you CANNOT do is arrest that person for going into a mall or movie theater because he may shoot the pace up.

Laws should not be made based on emotions and thats how DUI laws came to be (MADD). Theres a reason victims and families of victims do not serve on the jury of the case.

AND I know close to a dozen people that have been killed by RECKLESS drivers. But my loss and your loss doesnt give us the right to impose on the freedom of others
 
The collective level of stupid in this thread is impressive. I feel like I'm sitting through a remedial fifth grade social studies class listening to borderline retards engage in a policy debate for participation points.

How is reckless driving that doesn't hurt anyone any different than drunk driving that doesn't hurt anyone?

Both are exactly the same
 
This is nonsense. Haven't we learned to stop judging these situations until all the facts come out. Not saying any dui is ok but .059 is like two beers. I have read 100s of these dui arrest forms and they all read virtually the same. glassy eyes, smell of alcohol etc. as someone else said on this thread the pen is the police officers best friend in these cases.

I went to high school w her. Did not expect her to become a reporter at all.[/QUOTE]

It's funny how she responds to almost every tweet to make herself feel justified about her crummy job. Should be covering something a little more important rather than sitting outside a jail for an 19 year old kid.

Most of the time DUI charges are just bs a pig ***** as cop will make up just to ruin someone else's day life etc..... More than half the driving population drives under the influence to some degree all the time. A pig cop can just say you're DUI and you get arrested for it. Unless Mark Walton was really a drunk mess driving than I expect the is charge to be dropped and Walton back on the team.

Wouldn't go that far but you do make a valid point and in my opinion this other poster is naive. The cops stop who they want when they want.
