If you’re facing Cobb County DUI charges, chances are you’re feeling a little overwhelmed. Perhaps you were caught in a police roadblock, and though you weren’t driving recklessly or in any way behaving in a dangerous manner, you didn’t pass a breath alcohol tester. Though you may be frustrated by the roadblock, sometimes a case comes along that reminds us of just how important it is for the police force to be vigilant about Cobb County DUI offenders. Last week, there was a Cobb County DUI case that perfectly illustrates this point.

Last Monday, May 11, Cynthia Hambrick was arrested for DUI in Cobb County. Was she caught in a roadblock? No! She was taken into custody after allegedly being involved in five hit and run accidents. Witnesses reported that as she plowed through an intersection on Cobb Parkway, Hambrick hit several other vehicles with her gray SUV. In fact, she only stopped when she lost a tire! Police apprehended her, noticed a liquor bottle on the front seat of her car, and charged her with a DUI along with three other charges. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

That’s a pretty outrageous story, but it does drive home the reason that in Cobb County, DUI is a very serious matter. Imagine if that had happened during rush hour? The results could have been catastrophic.

As long as people continue to drink and drive, police and the courts are going to aggressively go after each Cobb County DUI offender. If you’re charged with a DUI, it’s important that you get help from a DUI attorney as quickly as possible. One reason is that you only have ten days to file a petition to keep your driving privileges. There are many other reasons, especially because court procedures for a Cobb County DUI can be very confusing.
