Redding Man Sentenced to Maximum Sentence for Felony Assault with a Vehicle While Driving Under the Influence

Dominic Salvador Ventimiglia 4th DUI intentionally ran down pedestrian Shasta County Calif 020116

REDDING, CALIF. — According to the Shasta County District Attorney, on Feb. 1, 2016, the Honorable Judge William D. Gallagher sentenced Dominic Salvador Ventimiglia, 74, to four years in State Prison for a felony charge in connection with a September 26, 2015, incident wherein the defendant intentionally attempted to ram a pedestrian in a crosswalk, while driving under the influence.

A Shasta County jury found the defendant guilty of one felony count of Assault with a Deadly Weapon: Vehicle, and two misdemeanor counts of Driving Under the Influence on January 6, 2016. The defendant had pled guilty to a related misdemeanor count of driving while his license was suspended due to a prior DUI conviction before the jury trial began. Following the jury’s verdict, the court found true two enhancements alleging prior DUI convictions within the past 10 years, and found the defendant in violation of his prior grant of probation.

The defendant has suffered three prior DUI convictions in 2005, 2010, and 2014, and was on probation for DUI at the time of this offense. Two of the defendant’s three priors involved collisions and two also involved blood alcohol levels well in excess of 0.15%. Citing the defendant’s concerning criminal history demonstrating an “unremitting alcohol addiction” that continually placed the public in danger, the defendant’s complete lack of remorse and attitude of defiance toward past court orders, and the shocking circumstances of the current case, Judge Gallagher told the defendant that he had “crossed a line” that society does not look lightly upon as he handed down the maximum sentence allowed by law.

Following an afternoon of drinking at a local bar, the defendant got behind the wheel of his vehicle, despite having a suspended license and probation terms prohibiting the consumption of alcohol. As the defendant was headed westbound on Parkview Avenue, he nearly struck a pedestrian who was in the process of crossing Parkview Avenue northbound in a marked crosswalk. The pedestrian yelled out to the defendant in anger over the near collision. At that point, the defendant sped forward, made an illegal U-turn striking the south curb of the roadway, and then drove his vehicle eastbound into the westbound lanes of traffic in an attempt to intentionally strike the pedestrian who was finishing his trek across the roadway.

The victim was able to jump out of the way, claiming the defendant’s vehicle merely “nicked” his knee. The defendant then proceeded out of his vehicle, wielding his cane in the air, and chased after the victim and several witnesses, prompting numerous 9-1-1 calls. Several officers from the Redding Police Department responded and, following an investigation, arrested the defendant, who was found to have a blood-alcohol content of 0.14%.

The case was investigated by Officer Peggy Porter, Officer Jamie Rouland and Officer Jeff Schmidt of the Redding Police Department and prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Laura Smith from the Shasta County District Attorney’s Office.

This case was prosecuted under a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Joseph E Deldeo Sr died from injuries in DUI crash; Dillon Davis faces DUI manslaughter charges

From THE CHESAPEAKE TODAY
MILLSBORO, DEL. – Delaware State police report that a 42-year-old man has died as a result of the injuries he sustained in an January 17, 2016, crash in Long Neck, Del.

Joseph Deldeo photo from GoFundMe

Joseph E. Deldeo Sr., 42 of Millsboro, was a left rear seat passenger in the 2003 Saturn Ion and was not properly restrained during the crash. He was initially transported to Beebe Healthcare before being flown to Christiana Medical Center where he died Feb. 8, 2016.

Dillon Davis faces DUI manslaughter charges in fatal wreck at Long Neck Del.

The 21-year-old female of Millsboro has since been released from the hospital.

The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is continuing their investigation into this incident and additional charges may be forthcoming.

The initial investigation determined that the crash occurred Sunday, January 17, 2016, at approximately 12:14 a.m., as Dillon Davis, 23, of Millsboro, was operating a 2003 Saturn Ion and was traveling in a northbound direction on Long Neck Road while approaching Bay Road, Millsboro. Davis then lost control of his vehicle as he attempted to round a curve. The Saturn then left the roadway and struck a tree where it came to rest.

Deldeo, as well as a 21-year-old female passenger in Davis’ car, were both removed from the scene by EMS and transported to the Beebe Medical Center. They were then both flown by Delaware State Police Aviation (Trooper 2) to the Christiana Hospital Trauma Center where they are being treated for serious injuries.

Dillon Davis, who was not injured in the crash, was transported to Troop 7 where a DUI investigation ensued. Davis was subsequently arrested and charged with Driving under the Influence of Alcohol, two counts of Vehicular Assault 1st Degree, Possession of Marijuana (3 grams), and three counts of Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He was arraigned at JP Court 3 and committed to the Sussex Correctional Institution in default of $6501.00 secured bail.

Chad Wyatt Campbell sentenced to 12 years for Double Fatal in hellride into motorcyclists

Chad Campbell sentenced to 12 years in prison for DUI homicide in deaths of motorcyclists Joseph Lorelli & Traci Chapman in his DUI hell-ride at 96 mph

Nicholas A. Iarocci, Esq. Ashtabula County Prosecuting Attorney Ohio

JEFFERSON, OHIO — Ashtabula County Prosecuting Attorney Nicholas A. Iarocci reports that on February 12, 2016, Chad Wyatt Campbell was sentenced to a total of 12 years in prison as a result of being convicted of two counts of Aggravated Vehicular Homicide, each of which is a felony of the second degree, and one count of operating a Vehicle under the Influence, a first-degree misdemeanor.

Campbell also had his driver’s license revoked for the balance of his lifetime.

This case stems from the tragic crash which occurred on June 21, 2015 on State Road in Plymouth Township when Campbell, who was driving substantially in excess of the posted speed limit at an estimated speed of 96 MPH shortly before impact and who was significantly under the influence of alcohol at the time, failed to yield to a motorcycle turning left.

The accident resulted in the deaths of Joseph Patrick Lorelli and Tracy L. Chapman, occupants of the motorcycle. Campbell, who had no prior criminal or traffic record prior to this incident, faced a minimum of four years and a maximum of sixteen years in prison as a result of the convictions.

“The unfortunate and tragic deaths of Mr. Lorelli and Ms. Chapman represent two of the six traffic fatalities that occurred in Ashtabula County in 2015”, according to Nicholas A. Iarocci, Ashtabula County Prosecuting Attorney. “Three families have been devastated by Campbell’s exercise of poor judgment, and he will now have 12 years in prison to think about this catastrophe and the lives that were lost as a result of his actions every minute of every day.”

The State of Ohio was represented by Assistant Prosecutor Robert C. Jeffries and the Defendant was represented by David per Due in this proceeding held before Judge Gary L. Yost who handed down the sentence.

Iarocci commended the Ohio State Highway Patrol for what he said was responsible for the thorough and outstanding investigation that resulted in the subject convictions and sentence.

Coward Campbell fled the scene and left his victims to die on the roadway

From Star-Beacon

A preliminary investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol said both vehicles were traveling north on State Road near Garrison Road in Plymouth Township when the crash occurred. The motorcycle was about to turn onto Garrison Road when Campbell’s vehicle slammed into it from behind. Lorelli and Chapman were thrown from the bike and the unmanned motorcycle continued off of the left side of the road and landed in a ditch.

Keith Stewart of the Ashtabula County Coroner’s office said Sunday that the truck rolled numerous times off the road after striking the motorcycle, but Campbell was not seriously injured.

Campbell reportedly fled the scene on foot after the accident and was later apprehended by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.  …MORE

Motorcyclist Dennis Oddo killed in Arizona 021816 photo courtesy of ABC15.com

Phoenix, Ariz. — State detectives are still combing through the tragic details related to the rear-end crash that claimed the life of 57-year-old motorcyclist Dennis Oddo, a valley resident.

The collision occurred at about 12:15 a.m. on Monday, February 16, when 33-year-old Leith Monroe was driving the car that struck Dennis Oddo as he was riding to work on his Harley Davidson motorcycle southbound along I-17 near Happy Valley Road. Mr. Oddo succumbed to his injuries at Honor Health North Mountain Hospital about two hours later.

The impact also forced the motorcycle and Mr. Oddo into the right dirt shoulder, a considerable distance from the point of impact. Monroe continued driving for a tenth of a mile before stopping near the Pinnacle Peak Road off-ramp.

A witness stopped with Mr. Oddo to render first aid and CPR until the Phoenix Fire Department arrived on scene and took over. That is when Mr. Oddo was transported to the hospital with mortal wounds.

Monroe was combative and overall uncooperative with state troopers and detectives. She was taken into custody and booked into the county jail under charges of 2nd-degree murder and criminal damage. The DUI portion of the investigation is still underway.

“The message ‘if you see something, say something’ has never been more appropriate as this case. If you see erratic driving, call it in. Get a police officer or trooper the information to find and stop these drivers before they crash and kill other people, and tragically change lives forever,” said Sgt. Alan Haywood, a supervising detective with the Vehicular Crimes Unit (VCU).

Loos was sentenced by Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge Louise Scrivener to ten years in prison for manslaughter and then set free on parole as the parole board didn’t consider her crime, under Maryland law, to be violent.

Motor Vehicle Fatality

On Monday, February 29, 2016, at approximately 10:05 p.m. the Kensington Police Department was notified of a motor vehicle crash in the area of 246 North Haverhill Road which involved fatal injuries. The initial investigation revealed that a black 2001 Toyota 4-Runner was traveling southbound at a high rate of speed on North Haverhill Road when it failed to negotiate a right-hand curve in the roadway. The Toyota left the roadway striking several trees. This caused the vehicle to roll over several times ejecting all three occupants of the vehicle.

The initial investigation also revealed that two of the occupants sustained life threatening injuries and succumbed to their injuries on scene. The third occupant was transported to Boston Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts with life-threatening injuries.

The crash investigation is being handled by the State Police Collision Analysis & Reconstruction Unit (C.A.R. Unit) with assistance by the Kensington Police Department and New Hampshire State Police Troop A. Assisting on scene were members of the Kensington Police Department, New Hampshire State Police Troop A, and Kensington Fire & Rescue.

At this time it is unknown if drugs or alcohol were factors; however, all aspects of the crash remain under investigation by the C.A.R. Unit. Anyone that may have further information related to this crash please contact Trooper Thomas Conlon 603-223-8614 or email at thomas.conlon@dos.nh.gov.

UPDATE: MARCH 1, 2016 1100 Hours:

The 3 occupants of the vehicle have been positively identified. Found deceased at the scene were Malachi DAVIS, age 21 of East Kingston, NH and Hunter VARS, age 21 also of East Kingston, NH. Transported by DHART to Boston Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts was Jack PERREAULT, age 20 of East Kingston where he remains in critical condition.

Alcohol believed factor in Randy Sprague’s crash; charged with DWI after being tracked from scene by K-9

On Saturday, February 27, 2016, at approximately 0219 hours, Trooper Matthew Locke of the New Hampshire State Police Troop A barracks responded to a report of a motor vehicle crash, on Route 101, in the area of Exit 10. Upon arrival Trooper Locke located the subject vehicle in the median facing south, up against the guardrail. The vehicle had sustained significant contact damage as a result of the crash.

Preliminary investigation revealed that Unit #1, a black 2008 Ford Ranger, being operated by Randy Sprague, age 33, of Epping, New Hampshire, was driving westbound when for an unknown reason, he drifted completely off the paved portion of roadway to the right, striking and destroying a “Route 101 West” sign. After striking the sign, Sprague over-corrected to the left, drove across the two westbound lanes of Route 101 and struck the guardrail in the center median head on.  The vehicle came to final rest in the median after striking the guardrail. Witnesses to the crash had seen a male standing by the vehicle just prior to Trooper Locke’s arrival, however, no driver was immediately located. Based on the seriousness of this crash, the extremely cold temperature, and the potential for injuries to the driver, a State Police K-9 was requested to assist in locating the driver.

Trooper Dan Livingstone of Troop-D and his K-9 partner “Veda” began a track of the driver which took troopers through thick woods and across a stream to the north of the crash scene. Mr. Sprague was ultimately located on River Road in the town of Stratham, where he was taken into custody without incident.

Sprague was placed under arrest, and he was charged with DWI (subsequent offense), Conduct After an Accident, Reckless Operation and two counts of Criminal Mischief. Mr. Sprague is being held on $500 cash bail, and he is scheduled to be arraigned on February 29, 2016, in the 10th Circuit Court, District Division-Brentwood at 0800 hours.

The New Hampshire State Police were assisted at the scene by members of the Exeter Police Department and the Stratham Police Department.
