On Saturday January 21, 2012, John Tippins, 31, a suspected drunk driver driving a Nissan crashed into a Toyota with three occupants. The three, including a 2 year old child, were taken to a hospital.

The police pulled over the car when they noticed it swerving and almost hitting another car. Instead of pulling over, the car sped away at about 80 mph and crashed into the Toyota.

The Police found open alcohol containers in the Nissan and the Tippins was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and for driving with a suspended license.

Tippins also had a warrant for DUI and for felony evading arrest.

Driving under the influence is considered a crime and can result in jail time not to mention excessive fines, alcohol abuse programs, driver license revocation or suspension.

Ruben M. Vasquez, who at 28, had two convictions for drunken driving was seen by an officer walking in a swerved manner.

Vasquez had just come from a hearing where a judge checked to see if he was meeting the terms of his probation consisting of not driving due to a suspended license.

The officer followed Vasquez for three blocks and then observed him getting into the passenger side of a van.

Vasquez then got on the driver's side and pulled away from the curb.

Vasquez was pulled over immediately.

Vasquez was arrested and his van impounded. Vasquez is likely to stay in jail until February of 2012 for violating his probation.

Authorities heavily monitor those people with at least two DUI convictions by staking out in front of their homes and following them to make sure they do not drive to and from their court hearings.

Last year, the unit made 104 arrests out of about 400 to 500 re-offenders they were monitoring. Vasquez's arrest marked the 100th of 2011.
