Man arrested for DUI after leaving hearing for DUI
By CORY MATTESON / Lincoln Journal Star JournalStar.com | Posted: Friday, January 21, 2011 10:32 am

Acting on a hunch, Lincoln Police Officer John Clarke followed William E. Parminter out of court on Thursday.

Parminter was in Lancaster County District Court for a hearing regarding his fourth-offense DUI arrest. Clarke assisted in the May 14 arrest and was prepared to testify in the evidence suppression hearing Thursday, but it was continued, Officer Katie Flood said.

When Parminter, 54, left the hearing at about noon, Clarke walked out of the courthouse and followed him down the street to a Jeep Cherokee he wasn't supposed to be driving, the same Jeep Cherokee he wasn't supposed to be driving when he was stopped on May 14 because his license had been -- and still is -- suspended.

Does it really matter about the perma ban when he is still driving with a suspension anyways?

Now I do agree with jail time after the 2nd offense. And I don't mean a week either, a min of 3 months atleast.

 
Maybe the Lancaster County Attorney's Office can give him a nice long sentence so that this guy can get some rehab and less time behind the wheel? No Plea Deals!!! :bang

 
If I'm not mistaken, a similar thing happened with a female within the past month. She showed up for her hearing so inebriated that they had to reschedule. Cop friend of the folks across the hall was telling me about it.

 
I heard about this on the news the other night. This guy needs to spend an extended amount of time in jail. If he keeps dfriving and will if he isn't in jail it is only a matter of time before he does it again or worse he kills someone while driving drunk.

 
I knew a girl in college who showed up to her DUI hearing drunk from the night before. The judge called her out on it, had her breathalyzed, and then added a charge of MIP. The judge then asked her how she had gotten to court that day, she replied that she had driven (I admit, I would have lied) so another DUI charge was added (I don't know if this held up because, hey, she mighta taken like 10 shots outside of the courthouse) and she was taken into custody and transported to jail. I can't remember if they were able to finish the initial hearing and sentence her at that point. All I know is that I never saw her again (her parents took her out of school and she went back to Arkansas) and that her dad was a minister...ha.

 
As a Correctional Officer there are a ton a people who just dont get it. So many repeat offenders for the same crime who come to jail and EXPECT us to treat them like jail is a dagnabit 5 star hotel.
