Back on May 20, 2006, a horrific crossover crash in Polk County, Florida involving a Jaguar hitting a Honda, leading to several seriously injured people, was allegedly fueled by drunk driving. However, the main suspect left the country after being released from the hospital, never returning until recently. Now he’s back in police custody.
Paralyzed former US Congressman allegedly crashes into Florida trooper, injuring him.
The suspect, Faisal Javaid, was 27 at the time of the crash. Through a blood draw, police were able to establish he had a BAC of 0.129, well beyond the legal limit in Florida, reports the Miami Herald. But Javaid’s attorney says the whole thing is a misunderstanding.
According to the attorney, his client went to visit his sick grandmother in Pakistan, only to be barred from re-entering the US thanks to problems with an expired visa. That meant he missed the trial scheduled for 2008 and a warrant for his arrest was issued.
