Nebraska Penalties for Leaving the Scene of a Personal Injury Accident (Hit and Run) Nebraska #CriminalDefenseAttorney- By David Tighe Attorney at Law
Today’s topic will be leaving the scene of a personal injury accident also commonly known as hit and run.
There are two forms of hit and run in the State of Nebraska:
Leaving the Scene of a Property Damage Accident (Which was discussed in a previous Blog); and
Leaving the Scene of a Personal Injury Accident (Which is the subject of today’s Blog).
Neb.Rev.Stat. § 60-697. Accident; driver’s duty; penalty.
(1) The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident upon either a public highway, private road, or private drive, resulting in injury or death to any person, shall (a) immediately stop such vehicle at the scene of such accident and ascertain the identity of all persons involved, (b) give his or her name and address and the license number of the vehicle and exhibit his or her operator’s license to the person struck or the occupants of any vehicle collided with, and (c) render to any person injured in such accident reasonable assistance, including the carrying of such person to a physician or surgeon for medical or surgical treatment if it is apparent that such treatment is necessary or is requested by the injured person.

Today’s blog is part I of a multi-part series regarding Dui (Driving under the influence) and the consequences thereof.
I. Night Out;
II. How Many Drinks Before I am above >.08;
III. Didn’t See Cop Car or Cop Car was Hidden (I wasn’t swerving);
IV. Field Sobriety Tests (FST’s);
V. Preliminary Breath Test (PBT’s);
VI. Breathalyzer at Police Station;
VII. Nebraska Misdemeanor Dui Penalties:
“Last night a few friends called and…”
Most people who are accused of Dui (Driving Under the Influence) begin their conversation with me using those words or “I was out last night with a few friends…” We are social beings and very little makes us happier than being invited out and spending time with friends or loved ones.
Here is where the story starts going bad:
“We were having some drinks….and then I left”
How many drinks before I am over the limit
Many of us are unaware of how many (or how few) drinks it takes to “put us over the limit” when it comes to DUI, therefore I had attached two (2) interactive Bac calculators (Blood Alcohol Concentration or Content).
http://www.intox.com/drinkwheel.aspx
*These calculators are ESTIMATES only and should NOT be used to decide whether to drive or not- If you have drank alcohol and don’t want a DUI the only solution is to not drive*
“I only had a few drinks…”
utilizing the above calculators, we see that it doesn’t take many drinks for someone to get to the .08 threshold.
“The cop car was hidden” or “I wasn’t Swerving”
This is a tactic that officers have utilized for generations. Frequently, officers will be running radar for speeders and will use the use the speeding violation as the probable cause to pull the vehicle over. Then when you unroll the window to hand over your license, registration, proof of insurance, etc., the officer will then (written in their police report) detect the odor of alcohol emanating from the driver to establish probable cause to take the traffic stop to the next level.
Now, let us assume that the officer(s) claims that they can detect the aroma/odor of alcohol emanating from your body (they usually include watery blood shot eyes and other “signs of intoxication” in their official police reports) the officer(s) will usually ask for you to step out of the vehicle and then begin administering the FST’s (Field Sobriety Tests).
Here is where the tests we have all seen (or joked about) come into play. The touch your nose test, the heel to toe walking test, the horizontal gaze and nystagmus test, the balance on one foot test, etc., etc.
Preliminary Breath Test (PBT’s)
The preliminary breath test is the breathalyzer test the officer gives the suspected Dui defendant on the side of the road. This Preliminary Breath Test (PBT’s) is a handheld portable version of a breathalyzer that officers carry with them to help establish additional probable cause to elevate the traffic stop. If the Preliminary Breath Test (PBT’s) result is above .08 the officer will then transport the Defendant to the police station where the suspect will be subjected to the actual **breathalyzer.
(**The breathalyzer results at the police station carry legal significance)
Breathalyzer at Police Station:
Nebraska Revised Statute §60-6,197. Driving under influence of alcoholic liquor or drugs; implied consent to submit to chemical test; when test administered; refusal; advisement; effect; violation; penalty.
(5) Any person who is required to submit to a chemical blood, breath, or urine test or tests pursuant to this section shall be advised that refusal to submit to such test or tests is a separate crime for which the person may be charged. Failure to provide such advisement shall not affect the admissibility of the chemical test result in any legal proceedings. However, failure to provide such advisement shall negate the state’s ability to bring any criminal charges against a refusing party pursuant to this section.

There are two components of a typical Nebraska Dui.
1. Administrative License Revocation (ALR- Through Nebraska DMV)
2. Criminal Component (Court)
Today’s blog will briefly discuss the Administrative License Revocation (ALR- Through Nebraska DMV) component of a typical Nebraska Dui (With a brief re-cap of potential penalties for:
1. First Offense Dui;
2. First Offense Aggravated Dui;
3. Second Offense Dui; and
4. Second Offense Aggravated Dui.
When pulled over and cited for a Dui, in the State of Nebraska, typically the officer will immediately confiscate the Defendant’s driver’s license and the officer will give the Defendant a sheet of paper which will serve as the Defendant’s Temporary Driver’s License and will provide basic and general information regarding Nebraska’s Administrative License Revocation (ALR).
This temporary driver’s license (if you are eligible) is only valid for fifteen (15) days- which is why time is critical in every criminal case. It is vital that the defendant contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer, like David Tighe, to immediately prepare a comprehensive legal strategy to attack the charges.
In general, for a first offense Dui in Nebraska, the revocation ordered by the DMV will be for 180 days. If the Defendant refuses to take the breathalizer test, the DMV will revoke the Defendant’s driver’s license for a one (1) year period of time.
In certain situations the Defendant MAY want to contest the DMV revocation. This decision should be carefully considered due to the potential legal ramifications. For example “If you file a petition for the Administrative Hearing, you will not be eligible for the Ignition Interlock Permit, unless ordered by the court for the Driving Under the Influence related offense.” Additionally, if you choose to contest the Administrative License Revocation (ALR), the petition MUST be mailed within 10 days of “Notice being served to the driver.”
These deadlines are set in stone (if you miss a deadline-This COULD affect your privileges and rights) -which is why time is critical in every criminal case. It is vital that the defendant contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer, like David Tighe, to immediately prepare a comprehensive legal strategy to attack the charges.

Will I go to jail for a first offense Dui in the State of Nebraska?
The Short answer is it depends on your situation and the Facts of your case. Going to Jail for a DUI in Omaha, Douglas County or Sarpy County or Washington County Nebraska or any other County in the State of Nebraska is always a possibility, no matter if it is a first offense or not. That is why it is extremely important to immediately discuss your case with an experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer, like David Tighe.
Nebraska Penalties for Theft (Theft by Unlawful Taking / Theft by Receiving Nebraska / Theft by Deception / Shoplifting) #CriminalDefenseAttorney
arrest penalties Penalty charged Douglas County, Assault, Attorney, Burglary, Criminal Defense Attorney, Domestic Violence, Douglas County, Driving During Revocation or Suspension, Drug Possession, Drugs, Dui, Lawyer, Nebraska, Omaha, Omaha Nebraska Criminal Defense and Dui Lawyer Felony and Misdemeanor Attorney, Omaha Nebraska Dui Lawyer Attorney, Pottawattamie County, Sarpy County, Theft, Washington County
Earlier today I read a few articles regarding thefts, everything from thefts of cell phones to larceny and embezzlement, and wanted to address a few issues regarding Nebraska law on thefts in general.
According to Nebraska Revised Statute § 28-510. Consolidation of theft offenses, Nebraska has consolidated many “theft’ offenses. Specifically “Conduct denominated theft in sections §§28-509 to 28-518 constitutes a single offense embracing the separated offenses heretofore known as larceny, embezzlement, false pretense, extortion, blackmail, fraudulent conversion, receiving stolen property, and the like.”
Therefore, while defendants are still charged with “theft by receiving stolen property” or “theft by deception” under State v. Miner, 273 Neb. 837, 733 N.W.2d 891 (2007) when read Read in conjunction with § 28-510. Consolidation of theft offenses, theft by unlawful taking under section §28-511 is the same offense as theft by receiving stolen property under section §28-517.
However, as a defendant, when you are charged with a theft crime, the State will charge a specific crime (i.e., “theft by unlawful taking” or “shoplifting” or “theft of property lost, mislaid, or delivered by mistake, ” etc, etc.) and that specific charge will correlate with the specific Nebraska Revised Statute. In other words, if someone is alleged to commit a shoplifting, the State will charge the Defendant with §28-511.01. Theft by shoplifting- and the State will be required to prove each and every element of that specific statute beyond reasonable doubt.
What are the Penalties for Theft in the State of Nebraska?
Nebraska Revised Statute §28-518. Grading of theft offenses;
(3) Theft constitutes a Class I Misdemeanor when the value of the thing involved is more than two hundred dollars, but less than five hundred dollars.
If Convicted of a Class I Misdemeanor you face:
Maximum of up to one (1) year imprisonment (jail) or up to a $1000.00 fine or both.
(4) Theft constitutes a Class II Misdemeanor when the value of the thing involved is two hundred dollars or less.
If Convicted of a Class II Misdemeanor you face:
Maximum of up to six (6) months imprisonment (jail) or up to a $1000.00 fine or both.
*(However, for any second or subsequent convictions the penalties increase)
** In future blogs I will explain in greater detail “theft” and Felony Theft and the various penalties.
Will I go to jail for “theft” in the State of Nebraska?
The Short answer is it depends on your situation and the Facts of your case. Going to Jail for a ‘Theft’ in Omaha, Douglas County any other County in the State of Nebraska is always a possibility, no matter if it is a first offense or not. That is why it is extremely important to immediately discuss your case with an experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer, like David Tighe.

Earlier today I read an article regarding multiple Dui offenders. The link to the article can be found on my Twitter @DavidTigheLaw or you can access it via
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/driver-with-12-dui-arrests-not-a-record-colorado-prosecutors-push-for-tougher-laws01292015
This article indicates that local governments (Colorado, in this situation) have been strengthening laws in an effort to curtail driving while intoxicated (Dui) offenses.
Nebraska, has strengthened it’s Dui laws as recently as January 2012 (Date law became effective).
One significant change in Nebraska’s Dui law is referred to as the “look back period.” This look back period for many is irrelevant and insignificant, while for others it is paramount and can change a “misdemeanor Dui” to a “felony Dui” or significantly alter the amount of jail time, for Dui, the Defendant is facing.
The look back period, for enhancement purposes, in Nebraska is now fifteen (15) years, as opposed to 12 years (law prior to January of 2012).
This means someone who is convicted of a DUI in the state of Nebraska in 2015, that conviction will stay on their record for a period of 15 years for enhancement purposes. So if this person is convicted in 2015 and in 2028 is pulled over for Dui, in the state of Nebraska, this person can now be charged with a “second offense Dui.”
This also means that someone who was pulled over for Dui in 2002 and convicted of Dui in 2002 (or later) and is pulled over, in Nebraska, for Dui in 2015 – This person is now facing a charge of “second offense Dui”.
Now Compare the Potential Penalties and how the “Look Back Period” can affect Your Freedom-

A. Intentionally and knowingly causes bodily injury to his or her intimate partner;
B. Threatens an intimate partner with imminent bodily injury; or
C. Threatens an intimate partner in a menacing manner.
In Nebraska, if you are found guilty of A or B or C, and this is your first conviction for domestic assault (Domestic Violence / Domestic Abuse), you would have committed a Class I misdemeanor.
In very basic and general terms, in Nebraska, if this is your First conviction for 3rd Degree Domestic Assault (Domestic Violence / Domestic Abuse) AND you have been ONLY been charged with one (1) count of “domestic assault in the third degree” you face a Maximum Penalty of up to one (1) year imprisonment (jail) or up to a $1000.00 fine or both.
