OWI is an equal opportunity offense — rich, poor, good people, bad people, you name it. All the same when they drink and drive.
Yes, he made a mistake but he obviously hasn’t made a habit of it. We all make mistakes and if he does better in the future as a result I think he should be offered a little grace.
I am guessing that this is not the first time that he drove while wasted. On average, a drunk drive’s wasted over 500 times before being arrested. signed former drinker, 1 dui, drove thousands of times fuc* up. not proud of this
.08 constitutes statutorily “wasted”. Easy to hit that level if not careful with sufficient weight. Back in the 70s, it was .14, almost double and the legal age was 18 then. I remember the weekend fatality rate on Hwy 50 out to Walworth Cty was quite high as IL’s legal age was then 19 and there was a constant stream of them crossing the state line.
It doesn’t matter who you are — if you drink and drive you’re all equally dangerous.
Prominent people drive drunk all the time. That includes police, firefighters, elected officials and so many others. Most of these well connected people who drive drunk are not arrested due to their connections. Apparently, Mr. Mahone was not worthy of this protection.
…your point is? Are you condoning it or…?
As I said in the first post, doesn’t matter who you are. If you drink and drive you’re equally dangerous, period.
Wow special privilege out in 2 hours.
Wtf
That is normal if someone can be released to a third person.
First offense, ordinance, will go through Muni Court. Nothing to see here.
You probably was high too… A little weed and drive and drink. Why not right. He’s Tim important just ask him.
Never seen him with a woman but always smiling at the young girls in the bar
All these charges will be swept under the rug. This guy is a scammer. It’s a DEI hire from the previous mayor who had his nose up his ass for rep position. I’m not sure what his qualifications are for these jobs. No one else does either .. how much is he paid for this? I
Highly unlikely the OWI charge will be swept under the rug. State law essentially prohibits reducing or dismissing an OWI charge except in unusual circumstances. He either pleads or goes to trial.
