Looking At the Steve Foley Case From Different Angles

Saturday, June 23, 2007
Scanning the news on the internet this afternoon, I have to say that there aren’t too many San Diego drunk driving news stories to report. Is it because there were actually no accidents this past week or is it because there were no sobriety checkpoints this week?

The only new report I came across - well, it actually isn’t new to many of us here in San Diego who have been following the Steve Foley drunk driving case - is that Lisa Gaut, the woman who was with Foley the day he was shot by a off-duty Coronado police officer, was sentenced to six months in jail on Friday for threatening the policeman with the car.

Now that I’ve had time to digest this story and look at it from different angles, I’m a little upset that Lisa Gaut has to go to jail. At the time this incident happened, she had no idea that this man was a police officer who was shooting at Foley. Wasn’t she simply trying to defend Foley?

Granted, Foley shouldn’t have been drunk driving in the first place, but how would you feel if some random guy chased you down to your home and then started firing at you? But then, perhaps there’s more to this story than what the newspapers say….

If you’ve been caught drunk driving in San Diego, make sure to call an attorney to help you with your case!
