substance abuse policy?

[gooey]

The 29-year-old was arrested Sept. 20, 2004 in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, Kan. Police said Warfield had a blood alcohol level of .189 percent, more than double the state's .08 percent legal limit.

He pleaded no contest in January to a felony charge of driving under the influence, his third DUI in as many years. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail and 80 days of house arrest.


Hes had 3 DUI's in as many years? How long in the NFL? He gets a 4 game suspension. Tell me if I am wrong but dont players get 3 or 4 chances with performance enhancing drugs then ur out, then a life time ban? If alcohol is on the substance abuse policy list how come they do not get banned for that also? Oh yea, because drinking is not as unhealthy as performance enhancing drugs and little teenage girls arnt using alcohol either. R I G H T

He still got off easy! Here are the MO DUI laws:

Any person who receives two convictions for driving while intoxicated in a five-year period will have their license revoked and they are not eligible for reinstatement for a period of five years. Any person who receives three or more convictions for any combination of DWI or BAC (operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .10% or more) within a life time will have their license revoked and they are not eligible for the return of the license for a minimum of 10 years. On a five-year denial, the driver may apply for a hardship privilege after two years, provided that neither of the convictions were felonies, and provided that the driver is not otherwise ineligible because of having twice refused the breath or blood test, etc. On a ten-year denial, the driver may apply for a hardship privilege after three years, with the same exceptions as above.

For a first violation of state law for driving while intoxicated, or for operating a motor vehicle with excessive BAC, the range of punishment is up to 6 months in jail, a $500.00 fine or both. A second conviction under state law within a 5 year period for either a DWI or BAC is a class A misdemeanor and is punishable by up to 1 year in jail, a $1,000 fine or both. A third conviction for BAC or DWI within a 10 year period is a class D felony and is punishable by up to 4 years in prison, a $5,000 fine or both.

He got 10 damn days and hous arrest for 80! In TN for a 2nd offense it is a MANDATORY 45 days in the workhouse plus fines and loss of liscense. #rd offense is 120 days MANDATORY, and a 4th becomes a felony with a MINIMUM of 1 year in the penetentary.
