A central Florida woman has been sentenced to five years in prison for a fatal DUI crash.
A St. Lucie County judge sentenced 26-year-old Molly P. on Tuesday to half of the state’s 10-year minimum for DUI manslaughter. Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers ( http://bit.ly/rtVSAF) reports that both her family and the victim’s family had asked for leniency.
Authorities say Molly was driving shortly after midnight on March 18, 2010, when the car left the road and hit a tree. Molly was left comatose for five weeks, and her boyfriend, 29-year-old Jon , was killed.
Authorities say Molly had a blood alcohol level of 0.149 and 0.169 percent. Florida law considers a driver impaired at 0.08 percent.
RIP Jon
The Florida Highway Patrol will unleash its “wolf pack” on Highlands County from 8:30 p.m. Friday to 2 a.m. Saturday.
“Troopers will be patrolling major and secondary roadways where there will be a high probability of encountering impaired drivers,” FHP Sgt. George Taunton said in a press release. “The central focus of this wolf pack will be the apprehension of impaired drivers.”
Troopers have three goals, Taunton said: deter driving-under-the-influence to reduce death, injury and property damage; catch impaired drivers before they crash; and ensure the safety of all motorists by removing impaired drivers from the roads and the highways.
“The Florida Highway Patrol takes this crime very seriously and has a zero tolerance police for impaired drivers,” Taunton added.
I think operations of this nature are ridiculous; shouldn’t police always be on full watch for DUI and all other crimes?
Mike and Ruth Fauskee and the Operation 3D DUI squad of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office had something in common Sept. 14 at the North Falkenburg Jail Assembly room.
There, the Fauskees and the squad each received kudos at the sheriff’s office’s Awards Recognition Ceremony, held quarterly to recognize employees and citizens who work to make the streets safer for Greater Brandon and beyond.
The Fauskees, of Riverview, received the quarterly “Citizen Award” for supporting the squad that arrests drunken drivers, conducts sobriety checkpoints and educates the community about the consequences of not following the squad’s motto, “Don’t Drink and Drive.”
The squad itself, and each of its 12 members (see below), received recognition as this quarter’s “Outstanding Squad.”
The Fauskees said in an interview that they have had lots of experience working with a team of players, as they did for their son, Deputy Christopher M. Fauskee, as a boy growing up in soccer leagues. Besides coaching responsibilities, the Fauskees said they made sure the team had refreshments after each game.
Now, their son son plays for a team with a grander mission, the Operation 3D squad, for which the Fauskees have been recognized for providing refreshments for deputies working sobriety checkpoints.
“Over the past two years, Mike and Ruth Fauskee have been supporters of the Operation 3D DUI squad by attending over 24 DUI checkpoints and providing food and beverages to those working the checkpoint,” said Major Mike Perotti, in announcing the couple’s award.

A Polk County woman was arrested on DUI charges and is recovering from a fiery crash after a good Samaritan saved her life.
Flames were shooting from Patricia H.’s car on Monday night.
Witnesses said she veered off the road in Winter Haven, hit two parked cars, and flipped her car before it burst into flames.
Keith L. heard the crash outside his house and jumped into action. “It took me about four or five punches and I was able to bust through the front windshield of the car,” he said. “We were able to get it pulled out and dragged her out.”
Keith ended up with cuts and scratches all over his hands, arms and feet.
Deputies arrested Patricia on charges of driving under the influence.
Well done Keith!
