You recently got stopped for driving under the influence in Pasadena. Whether you got tagged at a checkpoint or pulled over on the 5 or 210, the arrest has thrown your life into chaos. It wasn’t as if your life was “perfectly in order” before. But now, you’re faced with…

If you got arrested for driving under the influence in Pasadena or elsewhere in the Southland, what would your mug shot look like? Would you be happy and smiling? Would you be giving “two thumbs up” to the photographer who snapped your Pasadena DUI mug shot? Probably not. How, then,…
Getting arrested for driving under the influence in Pasadena (or anywhere else) is no laughing matter. However, the things that certain suspects do under pressure can, in retrospect, seem amusing.
