Tony Logan , possible DUI

its on the Times Daily website....arrested at his home....DUI...on administrative leave...go to Timesdaily.com and read....

My wife was almost hit head on by Mr. Logan as he blasted through a stop sign in a residential neighborhood near his residence at approximately 3:10 on Saturday. She is a wonderful mother of two and a loving wife. She was coming home to join me on the couch to wathch the Championship game. I sure am glad that he only hit a mailbox and not my wife.

all i can say is..wow.

I think Chief Logan has done a good job here in Tuscumbia and piecing together what I have read so far he should have never been charged with DUI (keep in mind I do not know all the facts) I am going to go out on a limb here and imagine if he was seen driving reckless on his street at 3:10 then he probably was rushing home to see the Bama-Florida game. Drunk or not he should have his tail kicked for being reckless but the Police came to his home after the way he was driving was reported. I would assume that would have been at the very least 20 to 30 minutes (perhaps longer) after the report, plenty of time to get home and down a couple drinks while watching the game. He might not have been drinking at all before driving. Of course all the details I have are from WHNT's web site, Times Daily article, and this forum so I could be way wrong but I could see it playing out this way and seriously doubt he could be found guilty under the circumstances.
I will definitely wait to pass judgment on Chief Logan till all the facts come out.

Then she has a duty to report what she saw.

Mr. Logan will get over his job loss but losing his life or taking a life would be forever so there is a bright spot

She was not the one who called she only told me about it after we heard the news.

BFreds scenario leaves out Mr. Logan leaving the scene of an accident or failure to report since when is it ok to damage property and just go on about your day as nothing happened.

This is a great lesson for all of us...
I will never submit to an alcohol test again!

None of the story I saw says anything about if he stopped, called his neighbor, or any other details about the mailbox except that one was damaged. I could be mistaken but a vehicle accident with private property I don't think requires a Police report and can be handled privatly not to mention that the cost of most mailboxes are not even worth doing an insurance claim as the out of pocket money is not very much.

How embarrassing.

"An eyewitness called the police to report a drunk driver. Police reports show Logan was driving his 1999 Honda CR-V. Florence Police Chief Rick Singleton says Logan was turning right into his driveway, missed, and hit the mailbox. According to Singleton, Logan hit his City of Tuscumbia issued patrol car that was parked in the driveway, over corrected, and ended up across the street in a neighbor's yard. Police estimate Logan's speed at 45 mph."
