TV News anchor charged with DUI

The Knoxville News Sentinel reports that a news anchor, who now works in Chattanooga, was arrested and charged with DUI in Knoxville after crashing his car. Fortunately no one was injured. As with all cases, he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
It is always sad to see a case in which someone who ought to know better is charged with this crime. Yet we see this kind of story all the time. This is a news anchor. We have seen stories like this that involve attorneys, teachers, Judges, doctors and even prosecutors. Does anyone doubt that intoxicants effect judgment? The bottom line is that everyone going out and consuming alcohol needs to make a plan for getting home while sober and then stick to it.
