January 3, 2011, 13 years ago
Dave Toplikar of The Las Vegas Sun reports that MÖTLEY CRÜE vocalist VINCE NEIL was to have had his bench trial on a criminal drunken driving charge on Thursday (January 6th) in Las Vegas Justice Court.
But a spokeswoman for the the Clark County District Attorney's office confirmed today (January 3rd) the trial has been reset for 9am January 26th before newly elected Justice of the Peace William Kephart.
Neil, who lives in Las Vegas, faces a speeding and a drunken driving charge from an incident last June after leaving the Las Vegas Hilton in his 2008 black Lamborghini.
A Metro police officer stopped Neil about 11pm June 27th, 2010, for speeding and weaving between lanes on Desert Inn Road west of Paradise Road, which is near the Las Vegas Strip.
Neil told the officer that he had three glasses of champagne, but he didn't know when his last drink was.
The officer said Neil failed three standard drunken driving physical tests, which measure horizontal eye movement, the ability to walk and turn heel to toe, and the ability to stand on one leg for 30 seconds, he was given a breath test.
Neil's readings from the test were 0.215 and 0.216, compared to the legal limit of 0.08, the officer said. Neil was booked into jail and was released the next day on $2,000 bail.
