Dwight Gooden Learns Charges Come in Multiples
AddThis Social Bookmark Button
Generally speaking, when someone is charged for driving under the influence, it is just one of many charges. Dwight Gooden learned this on Tuesday when he rear-ended another car while taking his young son to school. He was charged with:
1. influence of drugs
2. leaving the scene of an accident
3. reckless driving
4. endangering the welfare of a child
5. DWI with a child passenger (only a few states have this law on the books)
6. plus a couple of motor vehicle violations.

I'm not sure why he was charged with leaving the scene of an accident when one report I read quoted the driver of the other car saying "... I knew it was Dwight Gooden. I think he was surprised I recognized him, (and) he shook my hand." That doesn't sound like the actions of a man fleeing an accident scene. I'm sure his lawyer will pick up on this as well and hopefully get that charge dropped.

It's frightening enough for the average citizen having a DUI arrest noted in his local paper. Can you imagine having your DUI published in the New York Times?
