Just after 2 a.m. on January 10 Matthew Van McDaniel crashed his Mercedes S550 through the gates of the Musick Correctional Facility in Irvine, while under the influence. McDaniel was driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.14 percent, when he lost control and crashed through the gates of the prison, he got out of the car which was still in gear and it crashed into a tree. When a correctional officer tried to restrain him, he punched the sergeant in the face and broke the officer's nose.
McDaniel pleaded guilty to one felony count of aggravated assault on an officer, one felony count of an ex-convict entering grounds of a correctional facility, one misdemeanor count of reckless driving, and one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of alcohol and, one misdemeanor count of driving with a blood level of .08 percent or more. The court also found true a sentencing enhancement for causing great bodily injury and that in 2003 he had a prior strike conviction for assault with a deadly weapon when McDaniel was sentenced to nine years in state prison.
If you have been arrested for driving under the influence or know someone who has, please contact the Law Offices of David M. Wallin to speak with criminal defense attorneys with a combined 50 years of criminal law experience representing thousands of people charged with driving under the influence.
