DUI Leads to Aggravated Assault on Law Enforcement

 

3:20 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 4, law enforcement officials were notified by the Lawrence Police Department that a chase had started after officers saw a vehicle going 100 mph on Iowa near 19th St. – right next to the University of Kansas campus in the central part of the city. The suspect was later identified as 22 year-old Josue A. Padron. The Sheriff’s Office said the chase ended near Northwest Lawrence after Padron, who was headed west in the 800 block of N. 1800 Rd. – the Farmer’s Turnpike – recklessly drove head-on into oncoming traffic. First responders said they were able to slow the vehicle to a stop before Padron collided with any other vehicles. He was taken into custody and arrested.

Driving while under the influence is very dangerous. It is one of the most dangerous thing you can do on the road and should be avoided at all costs.
