Yes, but Leyer didn't say he would suspend kids for DUI or for shooting people in the face, just for stealing crablegs. So technically, he is not wrong. There hasn't been an unpunished case of crab theft in Columbus during his term.

That's the same in most states.Captain Sasquatch;n304860 said:In the language of the law in Ohio, OVI means you can literally just be "sleeping it off" in the front seat of your car, but as long as the keys are within reach, you can get an OVI.

Youre fishing for free legal advice aren't youbradgator2;n304872 said:I was told once by someone that if you are going to sleep it off in the car, then put the keys outside on the tire or something. I never knew if that was accurate or not.
We always used some common sense, trying to differentiate between people who were truly sleeping it off and those who just passed out while driving or attempting to drive.bradgator2;n304872 said:I was told once by someone that if you are going to sleep it off in the car, then put the keys outside on the tire or something.

They saw him driving and in fact trying to avoid a sobriety check point, he blew over legal limit but they charged him with OVI because he's a local hero?Captain Sasquatch;n304854 said:It's an OVI, operating vehicle while impaired. I think that's a lesser offense.
Edit: Here's some clarification.
THERE IS NO DUI IN OHIO LAW. It is called OVI. It isn't a "lesser offense". It isn't a lighter charge. DUI/OVI/DWI are synonyms.lagator;n304912 said:They saw him driving and in fact trying to avoid a sobriety check point, he blew over legal limit but they charged him with OVI because he's a local hero?
