Bellevue King County DUI Attorney:  Washington State Trooper hurt in DUI accident

BELLEVUE, Wash. -- A Washington state trooper and two DUI suspects were hospitalized after a chain reaction crash on Interstate 405 near State Route 520 Thursday night.

Washington State Patrol spokesperson Julie Startup said a trooper, identified as Michael Porter, had pulled over a suspected drunk driver in a BMW on I-405 at SR 520 just before midnight.

The trooper and the driver were standing outside their vehicles as the trooper was reading his rights, when a woman driving a green Acura slammed into the back of the trooper's patrol car, which pushed into the back of the BMW.

The trooper and the male driver, a 32-year-old man from Bellingham, were struck by the hood of the BMW when it was pushed forward.

The suspected DUI driver, the trooper and the woman suffered potentially serious injuries in the crash. All three were taken to Overlake Hospital in Bellevue. Porter suffered injuries mostly to his leg; he has since been released from the hospital and is recovering at home.

The woman, a 26-year-old from Shoreline, will be investigated for DUI and vehicular assault.

Mercer Island traffic was briefly slowed Wednesday morning as state troopers gave an escort to six geese as they trotted down I-90 this morning.

The patrol cars pulled up behind and alongside the flock, blocking traffic while guiding the geese safely to an off-ramp.

Everett Lynnwood Snohomish County DUI Lawyer:  Army of troopers to swarm highways over long weekend

If you do plan to drive to your destination this Memorial Day weekend - make sure to ease up on the lead foot.
An army of state troopers will be on the highways this weekend to make sure everyone stays safe.
The Washington State Patrol says troopers won't necessarily be hiding. Some are already out along the highways with their radar guns pointed at oncoming traffic - and they'll be there all weekend.
Troopers say it's easy to catch drivers not paying attention.
Driver Peter Muller got caught Friday. He had his cruise control set for 70 mph, but the speed limit lowered to 60 mph.

King County DUI Lawyer: No charges against Fife police officer who admitted DUI

King County DUI Lawyer: No charges against Fife police officer who admitted DUI

An administrative review says he broke state DUI laws, but no charges will be filed against a former Fife police officer.

Detective Roy Farnworth crashed his patrol car in December 2010 after he says he drank three to four double vodkas while on-call.

"Generally speaking, you have to not only show that the defendant was intoxicated, but also that he was intoxicated at the time he was driving," explained Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist.

There isn't evidence to bring a criminal case because police didn't find out about Farnworth until hours later when he called his police chief from home saying, "I can't take it anymore. I quit. I crashed the Mustang. I am drunk, and it is in my driveway with a flat tire."
