Spring Break

When thinking about spring break, sun, surf, sand, parties and time away from school or work likely come to mind. Tampa Bay has world-renowned beaches and is the perfect spot for spring breakers from all over the country.

In March 2019, Tampa International Airport is expecting over 3.6 million visitors to fly into the Tampa Bay. The latest rankings from Dr. Beach lists Caladesi Island State Park in Dunedin/Clearwater, FL as the #7 top beach in America!

Sometimes beachgoers forget that sun and alcohol create greater dehydration which can lead to an increased impairment in judgment! There is a saying in the criminal defense world, “come for vacation leave on probation.” This doesn’t just apply to tourists to the Sunshine state but locals too! Common arrests during the Spring Break time include DUI, public intoxication, indecent exposure, battery, and thefts.

Here are some tips to keep you safe this Spring Break:

  • Always have a transportation plan before you start partying — designate a safe driver, hotel tram, or use ride-sharing services like Uber/Lyft to get from the beach bars
  • Wear sunscreen
  • Use a hat or umbrella
  • Keep yourself hydrated with non-alcoholic beverages like water or Gatorade
  • Eat snacks/meals
  • Use the buddy system and check on your friends
  • If you find yourself arrested – call the Law Office of Darrin E. Johnson, PLLC!

If you find yourself in need of our help call the Law Office of Darrin E. Johnson, PLLC to assist you. We’ve helped clients from all over the world and throughout the State of Florida with their criminal cases and we do not judge you!

It is important, especially if you live out of the area, to contact an attorney to assist you in the process of criminal courts. We would be happy to set up a free consultation to discuss your case and options.

Please be safe, and have a happy spring break!

Be Safe On St. Paddy’s Day

If you’re going out to enjoy the St. Patrick’s Day celebration this weekend don’t leave your safety up to “luck”. We encourage you to have a plan in place for a safe way home before the festivities begin.  Whether you plan to spend a little “green” on an Uber or Lyft, designate a driver, or take a taxi, please don’t drink and drive.

Keep in mind that Criminal penalties for Driving Under the Influence in Florida are strict, and a DUI could potentially cost you a lot of “green.”

 Additionally, if you injure someone else as a result of a DUI you could face civil consequences, which means you can kiss your pot of gold goodbye!

In the event you, a friend, or family member run out of “luck” and are charged with a DUI this St. Patrick’s Day, contact The Law Office of Darrin E. Johnson, PLLC as soon as possible. We are always here to protect your life, liberty, and livelihood!
