It was recently reported that Adam Kennedy, a former baseball player for the Anaheim Angels was arrested on Wednesday night on suspicion of driving under the influence by the California Highway Patrol. CHP reported that Mr. Kennedy was driving northbound on the 73 freeway in his pickup truck south of MacArthur Boulevard when CHP officers imitated a traffic stop at about 9:00 p.m. Subsequently, Mr. Kennedy was arrested.

Under California Vehicle Code section 23152(a) it is against the law for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug to drive a vehicle. Furthermore, California Vehicle Code section 23152(b) makes it unlawful for a person who has 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood to drive a vehicle. Mr. Kennedy will likely be charged with a violation of both Vehicle Code sections 23152(a) and 23152(b).
