Ron Book, one of Florida’s most influential lobbyists who also represents the city of Tallahassee, has been arrested on DUI-related charges in Broward County, several South Florida news outlets have reported.
Book, 66, was arrested by the Florida Highway Patrol Sunday after crashing his Lamborghini near his house, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. He was charged with a first-time DUI, refusing to submit to a DUI test and DUI with damage to a person or property, the paper reported.
According to the Sun-Sentinel, Book was released this afternoon on a $1,500 bond.
Drunk drivers destroy far more lives than those of us convicted of sex offenses, the recidivism rate is around 25% across the board, and it’s a crime that happens far more than even the most exaggerated claims about sex crimes.
He could have killed someone
It seems to me like trouble comes in bunches, at least in my life it has. I just hope this is the beginning of a very long run of bad luck for Book. Karma’s a bitch Book, I hope it comes a takes a huge shit on you, you bastard!
