• Leigh pleaded guilty to the charge and was banned from the roads for 17 months 

An Instagram model who was caught driving home drunk has been banned from the roads for 17 months. 

Jordi Leigh, 24, was almost twice the alcohol limit after officers stopped her at 11:45 p.m. on May 23. whilst she was at the wheel of her white Audi A1 sports car near her home in Sale, near Altrincham. 

The student nurse, who has 30,000 followers on her social media page, claimed police who arrested her were tipped off by a man she had accused of sexual assault and that she was the victim of a revenge sting after police refused to charge her suspected attacker.

Leigh, who dated Reality TV star Sean Pratt and who regularly models swimwear and other designer items on Instagram, said she was only arrested as the unnamed man called police to give the details of her car – and to say she had been drinking. Police confirmed officers had received prior ‘intelligence’ the Audi driver might be drunk before they stopped her.

The student nurse, who has 30,000 followers on her social media page, claimed police who arrested her were tipped off by a man she had accused of sexual assault. Prosecutor Eileen Rodgers said: ‘She was seen by an officer in the area and at the particular time she was stopped there was a presence of alcohol in system. The reason why the officer stopped her was that he had received intelligence that the driver of the vehicle possibly had consumed alcohol’

However, on the day of her trial she pleaded guilty to the charge and was banned from the roads for 17 months. She was also fined £120 plus £115 in costs and surcharges but was allowed to pay it back at just £40 a month. 

Prosecutor Eileen Rodgers said: ‘She was seen by an officer in the area and at the particular time she was stopped there was a presence of alcohol in system. The reason why the officer stopped her was that he had received intelligence that the driver of the vehicle possibly had consumed alcohol.

‘He stopped the vehicle and spoke to Miss Williamson-Blessing. She admitted to consuming alcohol and she did smell of intoxicants. She gave the explanation that she had seen a male out in the Altrincham area whom she had previously accused of a sexual offence against her. She has no recorded convictions and is a young lady of previous good character.’

Tests showed Leigh who has been working at Salford Royal Hospital whilst studying for her Salford University nursing degree had 66 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35mg.

In mitigation her lawyer David Campbell said: ‘This is an unusual set of circumstances and there was an issue as to whether special reasons could be argued but on the evidence available she realises she can’t advance an argument for special reasons.

At Manchester magistrates court Leigh, who appeared in court under her full name Jordania Leigh Williamson-Blessing initially denied driving with excess alcohol. However, on the day of her trial she pleaded guilty to the charge and was banned from the roads for 17 months

‘The situation is the defendant had been in the Altrincham area and gone for a night out. She driven there with the intention of leaving her car and picking it up the next day.

‘But unfortunately while out in one of the bars she encountered a male person whom she previously made a complaint to police as regards his behaviour…As regards to her complaint of a sexual nature, police had decided they would not authorise charges and unfortunately when she saw that gentleman that evening she felt threatened and therefore left the premises.

‘She then drove home and someone was in the car with her. The person who reported her to police must have been the person she previously had made a complaint against.’

Leigh, who dated Reality TV star Sean Pratt, and who regularly models swimwear and other designer items on Instagram. The court heard how the student nurse, who has 30,000 followers on her social media page, has not been in university this term after suffering from anxiety, according to her lawyer David Campbell, relating to the man who she has accused of sexual assault

Mr Campbell added: ‘She has not been in university this term and has been signed off suffering from anxiety and an anxiety disorder and this comes from the incident with regard to the gentleman.

‘She has not got any income and has not claimed a bursary she is entitled to or student grant. She’s going to start again in January.

‘References speak very highly of her and she clearly is a person who’s found herself in a difficult situation.

‘She thought she was doing the right thing but it was clearly wrong and she now has to face the consequences. She regrets what’s occurred and her family will assist her with her costs.’

Leigh was then offered the chance of drink drive awareness course which could reduce her ban to a year. She began dating Ex On The Beach star Pratt last year after he broke up with Geordie Shore’s Zahida Allen. It is thought the couple split up in August.

A judge in Hancock County has thrown out the results of a blood test taken from a driver in a fatal crash, saying that police failed to get a warrant for the test and were not justified in getting a blood sample without one.

Darlene Haslam, 54, of Eastbrook faces charges of manslaughter, aggravated criminal operating a motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicants and driving to endanger in connection with a November 2017 crash in Eastbrook. Trudy Pickard, 54, a passenger in the pickup truck Haslam was driving, died when the truck spun around in the Eastbrook Community Center parking lot off Route 200, struck a guide wire for a utility pole, and then accelerated across the road and struck a tree head-on, police have said.

Not long after the crash, police took Haslam to a hospital and told her she was required to take a blood test, but did not obtain a warrant allowing them to get the sample. According to court documents, Haslam’s blood-alcohol content tested above 0.08 percent, which is the minimum at which someone is legally considered to be intoxicated. Haslam’s precise test results are not included in the public court documents.

Haslam’s defense attorney, Hunter Tzovarras of Bangor, filed a motion to suppress the evidence in court, arguing that the blood sample was obtained improperly and should not be used as evidence against his client. Justice Bruce Mallonee agreed and granted the motion Nov. 1.

At issue was whether police were allowed to get a blood sample without a warrant. Mallonee ruled that Haslam, though agreeable in her dealings with police, did not consent to having her blood drawn but acquiesced after she asked a police officer if she could refuse and was told she had no choice. The officer, Deputy Travis Frost of the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department, “never told her she could refuse and never gave her the opportunity to decline,” the judge wrote, despite her legal right to insist that he first obtain a warrant.

In his decision, Mallonee wrote that in some situations there are “exigent” circumstances — those that require immediate aid or action — in which police can legally obtain a blood sample without a warrant. However, prosecutors never argued such circumstances applied following the crash and records of the investigation do not suggest such urgency was a concern, the judge added.

The circumstances under which police officers are permitted to take blood samples from drivers without first getting a warrant have prompted recent appeals of similar cases at both the state and federal court levels.

This summer the Maine Supreme Judicial Court heard oral arguments concerning the admissibility of a blood sample obtained from a trucker from Tennessee who was convicted of causing a 2016 crash that killed two people on Route 17 in the Knox County town of Washington. The court has yet to issue a decision.

Also this summer, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that police can obtain a blood sample without a warrant from drivers who are unconscious and who are suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol, or if exigent circumstances require that police obtain a sample quickly.

In his decision, Mallonee cited an earlier U.S. Supreme Court decision, in 2013, in which the court determined that “exigencies must be determined case by case based on the totality of the circumstances.” Under that ruling, the judge noted, the natural dissipation of alcohol in the bloodstream does not amount to an exigent circumstance that would allow police to obtain a blood sample without a warrant.

Matthew Foster, district attorney for Hancock County, said Friday that despite Mallonee’s ruling, he still intends to prosecute the case, which has yet to be scheduled for trial.

“We would obviously have liked to have this evidence available to the jury, but there is plenty of other evidence of intoxication and reckless actions by the driver,” Foster said. He did not detail the other evidence.

Tzovarras did not return a message Friday afternoon seeking comment on Mallonee’s decision. https://bangordailynews.com/2019/11/09/news/hancock/judge-tosses-a-blood-test-taken-without-a-warrant-in-hancock-county-manslaughter-case/

Upon seeing the streaker vanish into the corn, police called Lowell firefighters to bring a drone to the area to search for him. Both police and firefighters also checked the area but did not find the man. https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/naked-man-with-beer-in-hand-evades-police-by-vanishing/article_14aa3eab-b4a8-5b89-ab79-d29bf67a4946.html#1

Cesar Angeles

RACINE — A Racine man is facing his fifth OWI charge after police say he jumped into Lake Michigan to try and escape. It all happened at the Reefpoint Marina on Friday night, Aug. 9. Police say the man jumped into the water and hid under one of the docks. What he said was in the water had police questioning his sobriety.

Body camera footage captured the man struggling with officers trying to arrest him.

“He indicated he was looking for pedophiles and cartel, and that he was going to bust the cartel,” said Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling.

Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling said statements made by 38-year-old Cesar Angeles, are just more proof that he should have never been behind the wheel of a car.

Angeles is accused of first backing his car into the car of a security guard before fleeing the scene of the accident on foot. He then jumped into the water.

Christopher Schmaling

“Our boat patrol happened to be in the area and located him hiding in the water underneath a pier,” said Schmaling.

Schmaling says once out of the water, Angeles resisted arrest and refused all field sobriety tests.

“This all could have been prevented,” Schmaling said. “Think about how many people’s lives he put at risk last night.”

What concerns Schmaling about the arrest, is Angeles already has four OWI convictions.

“He still has, well did have a valid driver’s license up to this point which should be concerning to all of us. He clearly hasn’t learned his lesson and I’m hoping this fifth offense, once he goes in front of a circuit court judge, that they make an example out of him.”

Angeles is being held on the following charges with a bond set at $5,300:

• OWI 5th Offense
• Resisting/Obstructing an Officer

The blood tests have not come back but Sheriff Schmaling expects it will reveal Angeles was well over the legal limit. https://fox6now.com/2019/08/10/racine-man-in-custody-following-5th-owi-offense-trying-to-swim-away-from-officers-in-lake-michigan/
