The website tmz.com reports that former NBA star and Los Angeles Laker great Norm Nixon has been arrested for a DUI. Apparently, he was arrest last night after being stopped by the California Highway Patrol for not having a front license plate on the black Ferrari he was driving.
tmz.com further reports they were advised that the officers smelled alcohol and had Nixon perform a series of field sobriety tests which he performed “poorly”. Nixon was thereafter booked and released after posting $5,000.00 bail.
DUI cases are often highly technical matters and a proper defense requires an experienced criminal defense attorney. It doesn’t matter whether you are famous or not. Anyone arrested for a DUI needs a skilled DUI defense lawyer to defend them not only in court, but also, at the Department of Motor Vehicles in order to avoid any suspension of their drivers license.
