Orange County Sheriff Official Charged with DUI

May 29, 2009
An Orange County Sheriff was charged with misdemeanor DUI when she rear-ended another car in Irvine. Police in Irvine arrested Lt. Erin Lorraine Guidice last month after she failed to stop behind a car parked at a red light. The driver of the other vehicle was not injured. Guidice was driving an unmarked Orange County Sheriff’s Department car at the time of the crime! The Orange County district attorney’s office filed charges Thursday.
Arresting officers said Guidice had slurred speech, bloodshot/watery eyes and failed her field sobriety tests! Doesn't it seem she would have invoked her right to counsel or do the FST's!
Her BAC is rumoured to have been 0.14, almost two times California's .08 legal limit.
Guidice was amazingly only transferred from her post as head of the Orange County Harbor Patrol to a position at the county's Theo Lacy Jail.
The penalty upon conviction could be as high as six (6) months in jail.
