A man is in custody after nearly hitting two automobiles in Dunbar Township earlier this week.
The man, 24 year old Christopher John Martin, was allegedly driving in the wrong lane while driving under the influence last Sunday afternoon. The driver of one of the cars he passed followed the suspect and confronted him at a stop light.
Martin apparently did not seem to happy about being confronted. He placed his car in reverse and slammed it into the other driver's car. In the collision, the 11 year old daughter of the confronting driver was injured, as her head had hit the windshield, causing a spider-web effect on the glass, according to a Pennsylvania State Police officer.
According to police, Martin then drove to the police station and drove over the sidewalk while trying to park. He was arrested on several charges including aggravated assault by vehicle while driving while intoxicated, recklessly endangering another person and reckless driving.
Although a good PA DUI attorney can obtain favorable results for a DUI suspect, it only becomes more difficult to seek leniency from a court if there are aggravated circumstances. If you have a simple DUI, your PA DUI attorney can sometimes work out a better deal with the court, but if you have numerous charges arising from the DUI incident, it could get progressively harder for your PA DUI attorney.
If you've been in arrested in a DUI incident and have aggravated circumstances, contact a PA DUI Attorney. There are several that offer free consultations. But sometimes, a good PA DUI attorney might not offer a free consultation and may be worth the initial fee. Do your research because a good PA DUI attorney can sometimes get you off the hook in some of your DUI related charges.
