Recent news reports claimed that the well-respected broadcast journalist, Amanda Davis, was arrested for the second time around following a car accident as a result of her drunk driving near Atlanta, Georgia last November 11.
Davis was arrested after driving her Fiat car northbound in the southbound lane and hitting a black Toyota. Apparently, it was a head-on collision.
Responding police officers noticed that as they were talking to both drivers following the incident, they immediately noticed the strong smell of alcohol in Davis’ breath. Therefore, she was asked by the cops if she was drunk and she did admit she was.
Allegedly, although Davis refused to take field sobriety test and the State Administered Chemical Test, she was still busted after the DUI officer found significant evidence to arrest her.
Aside from her DUI charges, Davis will also face reckless driving and failure to maintain lane charges. In addition, she was put in jail after the authorities confiscated her driver’s license.
Meanwhile, a Los Angeles auto accident attorney here remembered that the veteran news anchor was also arrested for the same offense way back in 1991. Incidentally she is not the first news anchor to be involved in such embarrassing alcohol-related situation. Her only difference is that she is well-respected by many and should have taken care of her reputation.
