Nude DUI Arrests in Cornhusker State

Where do you keep your wallet?

Around 6:00 pm on a Saturday in April, a caller contacted a State Patrol dispatcher to warn them of a reckless driver on Interstate 80, adding that the male and female in the car appeared to be naked.

Troopers were able to locate the vehicle and its naked 26-year-old male driver and his naked 26-year female passenger. The driver was arrested for driving under the influence in Nebraska and driving with a suspended license. The female was released -- hopefully after being given some clothes!

DUI Miscues

He never paid me any rent.

Washington State Patrol Trooper Trevor Downey was heading home after his shift when noticed a vehicle driving 30 mph in a 50 mph zone. As he approached the vehicle, it turned into a driveway and parked in the garage. When the driver was asked what he was doing, the unidentified 31-year Yakima man said it was his home.

Virginia Divorce and Family Law Attorney

My husband and I are going through a divorce. In return for my giving up my half interest in our stocks -- currently valued at $100,000 -- he proposes carrying a term life insurance policy until he reaches age 65 with me as the beneficiary under which I will receive $500,000 if he dies before age 65. I think its worth the gamble because he's an idiot and will do something stupid to die young, but is it legal?. I don't want to do this if the court will not enforce it.

My child support payments are set by a court order. It was effective almost two years ago. However, due to the slowdown in the economy, my hours at work have been cut back and the reduction in my income has made it difficult for me to pay child support and my other expenses. My ex-wife knows about this but insists that I continue to pay the court-ordered amount of child support or she will have me held in contempt. Is there anything I can do?

Richmond Virginia Reckless Driving Attorney

I was test-driving a BMW in Richmond. Soon after leaving the dealer's lot another driver ran a stop sign and T-boned the BMW. I was hurt pretty bad. My hospital bills are already over $100,000, and I will likely miss 6 months of work. My lawyer said the other driver had minimum liabilty limits of $25,000 on his insurance policy, but that won't be enough to even cover my medical costs. Am I stuck?

My teenage daughter was injured in an auto accident recently and was not at fault. The accident occurred in Richmond on I-95/I-64. The other car was driven by the owner's nephew, and because the nephew lived with the owner and was not listed as a potential driver of the car when the application for insurance was made, the insurance company is denying coverage. Can the insurance company do this even when the owner of the other car paid the insurance premiums on time?

DUI/DWI

If a police officer stops me and asks if I've been drinking, what should I tell him?

Do I have the right to speak to an attorney if I'm stopped for DUI?
