He Ran The Light Doing 70 MPH

A Bartlett Tennessee man wasn’t feeling any pain and he wasn’t using his brain when he got behind the wheel of his motor vehicle back in 2009. He had already had problems with drinking and driving and was well aware that he didn’t have a valid drivers license.

He was driving 70 mph in downtown Memphis at 2 AM when he ran a red light and ran over and killed a 37-year-old Alabama man. While he was out on bond, even after he had killed an man, he was busted for possession of drugs.

Last week he pled guilty to vehicular homicide involving intoxication, driving on a revoked license and to charges of drug possession. His sentencing is coming up soon and it is expected that he is going to catch some serious pen time. My prayers go out to the family and friends of this man and I also hope that the driver will somehow find himself and get out from the slavery of drugs and alcohol.

When I started to read the article, as an experienced Nashville auto accident lawyer, I knew before it told me that 27-year-old James W. was driving on a suspended license. What a Bozo. Ok, you’re driving on a suspended license, you’re carrying dope and syringes on your person and in the car, and you speed through Johnson City Tennessee. I mean, Duh! How stupid can you get?

When Police light him up for speeding what does this genius do? He tries to flee, but you guessed it, he was too high to avoid the police and he then leads them on a foot pursuit, until he gave up in a local motel parking lot. Nothing makes police madder then having to chase some hop-head through the neighborhoods. Now, charged with  speeding, fleeing the police, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and, oh yeah, driving on a suspended license, he is where he should be, housed in the County jail awaiting a preliminary hearing on a bond he can’t make.
