Former Denver Bronco Quarterback Charged with DUI
Chris Simms, a former quarterback for the Denver Broncos was charged with driving under the influence of marijuana in New York. On Thursday, July 1, 2010, Mr. Simms was stopped at a DWI checkpoint in Manhattan where officers observed that he smelled of marijuana and had red eyes, slurred speech and his face was flushed. Officers also claim that Chris Simms admitted to smoking marijuana earlier in the day. Mr. Simms believes that the officer misunderstood a statement he made about smoking cigarettes not smoking marijuana. He has a court date scheduled for August 23rd.
This case is just one example of how driving under the influence of marijuana can cause people legal trouble. Even though Colorado has laws regarding the medical use of marijuana, drivers can still be charged with driving under the influence of marijuana. In Colorado drivers can be charged with DUI even while driving under the influence of more traditional medicines including prescription drugs. If you are charged with DUI for marijuana then it is in your best interest to consult with a Colorado DUI attorney.
