Re: Ron Menor + DUI = Train wreck

Geez it's getting worse. Now his sons have indicated their father had a lot of alcohol, and according to police, the arresting officer indicated Menor was weaving and wreaked of alcohol.

Cite?

Stating "1 to 2 small glasses of wine" was definitely a red flag for me. I've been exposed to that exact same statement, word for word, and I learned that it really meant "1 to 2 bottles"! I'm not saying that's true of Menor...just that imbibers caught driving tend to err on the side of less rather than more...or accurate.

Hey Craig. I was wondering if you could post the source of your information, as I was unable to find anything to support your assertion in any published news reports.

Years ago a shipmate had a rollover car accident, which was reported to the command. He must've been asked about a dozen times times "Were you drinking?" and "Was alcohol involved?" and the answer was "No."

Later that morning the CO dropped by to check on him and asked the question a little differently: "I heard that you hadn't been drinking and that alcohol wasn't involved, so when had you stopped drinking?" The answer was: "Over an hour ago!"

Yeah - I'll third that request, please. Let's clear up whether or not this is just rumor, or truly a deeper hole for him.

P.S.) In this case, the word is spelled "reeked," not "wreaked."

Re: Ron Menor + DUI = Train wreck

hi this is sansei and i remember hearing on the news that ron menor's son told police that his father had been drinking heavily and it appear's that he did from what his son told police so i believe this story and this wouldnt be an attack,it's observation from The news.

Thanks for the link FM, Sue and Sansei. I know I read it somewhere in one of the local rags.

I don't read their statement

In chatting with the boys, (Officer) Moszkowicz mentioned that he looks for people who have been drinking and driving, and one of the boys replied, "Yeah, like Dad," the officer recalled.

as quite the same as saying "his sons have indicated their father had a lot of alcohol"
...but yeah, I see how you could interpret it that way, too. No matter what, trouble lies ahead for the man.

Re: Ron Menor + DUI = Train wreck

I'm still wondering why Menor refused to submit to the roadside sobriety test and the breathalyzer test at the station. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't such refusal lead to an automatic one year suspension of your license? Whereas if he submitted to all the tests and he was convicted for DUI, a first offense would lead to, at the most, a 90 day license suspension (along with other sanctions like X number of hours for drug/alcohol counseling and community service).

I searched DMV's online record and found that this was, indeed, Menor's first DUI offense.

Does Menor think that he can beat the refusal to submit to tests rap in court? So okay, he argues that his foot was fractured and that this would have hampered his performance on the roadside sobriety test. But what excuse does he have for refusing the breathalyzer test? He can't use his foot injury as an excuse for that.

Uhhhhh...he had his FOOT in his mouth?

I couldn't help myself.

No wonder he has a foot injury, forensics should check for teeth marks.

Okay so now with the police officer's observations differing from Menor, either the cop's lying or Menor is.

Lying is bad. Bill Clinton was impeached for that, Bush is on the hot seat and is accused of lying. So now Menor is looking like a liar now as well as a drunk, and could also be accused of child endangerment. Is that what we want as a representative in our State government?

Not anymore.

Didn't Mililani already go through this type of voter betrayal with Rene Mansho?

Re: Ron Menor + DUI = Train wreck

Hmmm, if anyone living in the 17th senatorial district has any political ambitions, they might want to take a stab at Menor's seat this year.

Sorry Tim and Craig. But there's almost no chance of a Republican emerging as a victor in this area. The successful Democratic challenger who defeats Menor in the primary will likely go on to win the general election as well.
