FORT COLLINS, Colo. — On May 21, Fort Collins Police Services arrested two separate drivers in two separate crashes. Both were charged with driving under the influence for a fourth time.
"The problem is that it's happening at all. There are a lot of variables that we can't control when we're driving around the city, but driving drunk is not one of those," said J. Gilmore, director of communications for FCPS.On December 14, 1997, Brittany Lamb was 12 years old when she and her aunt were hit head-on by a drunk driver. As a helicopter transported the drunk driver to the hospital, the helicopter crashed, killing everyone on board.
Records show one of the drivers arrested by FCPS in May was charged with driving under suspension four times in addition to the three previous DUI charges. FCPS confirmed the other driver's previous three DUI charges were out-of-state. Before these new laws, judges were handing out different sentences for habitual offenders from county to county. Some offenders were not serving any time behind bars, while others were getting close to a year in prison. The change came after several district attorneys sounded the alarm about the disparities.Lamb continues sharing one message for people considering driving after drinking.
