No charges for Vermont police chief suspected of alcohol DUI
No charges will filed against the Williston, Vermont Police Chief who was suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol last week. Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. Donovan said Thursday there was insufficient evidence to file charges.
"While no criminal conduct occurred, its clear Chief Nelson demonstrated a lapse in judgment," Donovan said in a statement Thursday.
According to the state of Vermont's attorney, Williston Police Chief Roy Nelson was suspected of driving under the influence by Vermont State Police officers responding to the same incident on Sept. 13.
A Vermont State Police officer said the chief smelled of alcohol, his speech was slurred and his eyes were bloodshot and watery. Nelson admitted he had been drinking earlier in the evening, said Donovan.
When Nelson was screened at the Vermont police station, his blood alcohol content was .031 percent, said Donovan. The state’s attorney said a state chemist calculated Nelson’s BAC at the time he was driving was .061, less than the legal limit for driving of .08.

Alcohol costs much more money than it generates for manufacturers, retailers or government. It contributes greatly to crime and greatly endangers both body and mind. These observations alone should lead thoughtful people to utterly reject alcoholic beverages. However, instead, the pleasurable consumption of alcohol seems permanently seated in culture and society.
|
In West Virginia, bars can advertise alcohol beverage prices, but not brand names.
|
Does alcohol kill brain cells? Yes, but only when large quantities are drunk over a period of many years. Thus, alcohol abusers and alcohol dependent individuals (collectively called "problem drinkers") often suffer from Korsakoff Syndrome, amnesia, confusion, and dementia. This effect is due to alcohol toxicity on the hippocampus, or "memory" portion of the brain. Social drinking, however, does not kill brain cells.
|
Many people know that Thanksgiving is a time with family, and people often feel the need to drink more around family and have a good time. However, this drunk driving fact is no laughing matter. At your next Thanksgiving dinner, give thanks for the health of those you are with and make sure that they get home safely.
