Police think it was drugs that fueled a 3 collision “drunken” driving spree that led to more than 15 charges, including 8 DUIs in Ocala, Florida
Ocala is a small city in central Florida, between Orlando and Gainesville on the western side of the Ocala National Forest. Local newspaper The Ocala Post reported one man was arrested and charged with 8 DUI offenses in one day, stemming from 3 consecutive vehicle collisions and a refusal to yield to patrol officers who ultimately boxed him in to stop him.
Drugs were believed to involved – Florida has a long history of pain medication addiction. Drugged Driving is increasingly common, and DUI charges are levied against impaired drivers whether the substance involved is alcohol, drugs, or something else.
The Ocala Post named 42 year old John R. Aiello of Ocala as the driver, and reported he was treated at a local hospital before being released into police custody. Police activity reports show he was charged at least 15 different times for his day of impaired driving, including at least 8 DUI charges.
