why do they need an interlock ignition system to test for the presence of alcohol before driving, if a license has been revoked for 10 years?

Umm, because idiots such as these will continue to drive WITHOUT the benefit of a license? If they’re going to drive drunk, do you really think they care whether they have a valid license?

I just don’t understand a system that will allow this to continue this way. The first time, I can see giving him probation and putting him into a treatment program, but if it happens a second time, as far as I am concerned, there should be NO mercy whatsoever shown for someone who has no mercy for the other innocent people he/she may kill by acting so stupidly.

they just keep arresting him and then letting him out so he can eventually kill someone and maybe even his self. This is so wrong. He needs to do some time. I am a correctional officer at a State prison. Prison time is just what he needs. He also needs to be comfronted by families who have lost a loved one due to his kind of behavior.

Everyone keeps saying that he may/will kill a loved one of someone’s when he’s out drinking and driving….and his family will bail him out, just to continue doing it. WHAT IF…the person he kills is himself…..what will HIS family do then? They won’t be bailing him out, they will be planning a funeral …and this folks, is a harsh, but true reality. The family that is helping, may bury him someday, someday soon, and they will have no one else to blame, but themselves…..and possible a lawyer and a judge. Heck, Lindsey Lohan is going to jail, why can’t this guy?

OK…to start off what is going to be a long comment. I know Aaron very well. To see that he is on DUI #5 does not surprise me at all. I am disqusted to know that the attorney he hired is friends with the judge and thats a pretty good guess of why he gets away with this. I know someone who got 2 DUI’s in 10 years and spend 180 days in jail and 5 yrs of probabtion with 5 years with no drivers license. Aaron is now on #5 since March of 2003. 5 DUI’s in 7 years and he is still able to be out on the road. It seems like not only are the courts responsible but also the family. I know he is a grown 30 year old man but who is supplying the vehicles for him to drive to get pulled over in?? That definitely goes further than the courts. Maybe with this incident happening near and Elementry School it will wake someone up. What if it had been during school hours and he didn’t pass out in the ditch but rather drove through the bus loading zone…would the courts put him away then?? Will it take someone losing their life before a man with a SERIOUS problem is locked away for a very long time. He does not need community control, probabtion, community service or any of that garbage. He needs to be locked up and then after the 3-5 years in jail that he was told the second time he would get if he ever came back into the courtroom..he might be ready for some other type of help. (As I said…I know him and this situation VERY WELL) If Escambia County allows him to get away with this, than the community needs to bind together and take it further than the county that obviously doesn’t care about its residents. This situation is absolutely ridiculous. It just shows that money does talk and his family is willing to front the money to get him out of this. It’s a crying shame.

I only have one question……. Why is this idiot out and about driving a vehicle after all of his history with alchohol????? Are they just waiting for him to get drunk, get behind the wheel and kill someone????
Oh and his Bail is nice and low, what is going on?? I don’t know maybe its just me, but I think since he hasn’t learned anything, and definetly has a problem with alchohol , maybe going to jail, straight to jail, with a much higher BAIL , and get him some help while hes in there. Seems alot better to me then letting him out, to drive around drunk and killing someone’s loved one. Don’t we already have enough of these idiots out there already.
Sorry I did intend to only ask one question, got carried away.

Know your neighbor is exactly right…it is a business that needs and wants criminals money…they don’t care how many times he comes before the court or jail. Now if he doesn’t pay up then they will do something. Money makes the world go round…how many times have we seen more than ten or fifteen arrest on this news sight in the last year or so…Our justice system simply doesn’t care..

Brad on July 19th, 2010 7:58 am Sorry buddy, go back to school. Ten percent of 12,000 is not 120, thats 1 percent. Ten percent of 12,000 is 1200. LOL. People sieze to amaze me everyday !!!

LOL at least their mistake was an honest one…. as opposed to people having “seizures” to amaze you.
It is “people NEVER CEASE to amaze me”

and this drunk is a good person to put in that category – as is any individual who would post bail for him.

Good point Know your neighbor. That would be sad if it is true.

I’ve known Aaron for a few years now as an acquaintance. We started off on the wrong foot but he has been pleasant to me ever since. I truly hope that he can get it together. He has a good mind but sometimes the body is stronger than the mind. It takes an addictive mindset to understand what he is dealing with. And I do. Still, there is no good excuse for what he has done and a second chance should have been enough. I hope he can understand how lucky he has been to not have seriously injured another person or himself, but if he cannnot, it is time for him to have some serious intervention.

Aaron, your mind should be stronger than your body. That is what separates us humans from other creatures. It is difficult but doable. Please let this be the last time.
