Incident Summary:
On Thursday April 12, 2018 at approximately 9:40 am Petaluma Police Dispatch received a call from a citizen reporting a DUI driver who was traveling westbound on Lakeville Highway toward Petaluma.

Hines was placed under arrest for DUI and transported to the Petaluma Police Department where he performed an evidentiary breath test. The result of the test showed his blood alcohol level to be .35 BAC. well above the legal limit of .08 in the State of California.
Hines is on probation for a prior DUI conviction. Part of his probation terms is to not drive without an interlock ignition device which would check to ensure he did not have alcohol in his system prior to allowing the car he is driving start. Hines car was not equipped with the device.
Hines driver’s license is also suspended due to the previous DUI. Hines was booked into the Sonoma County Jail for DUI, driving with a blood alcohol level greater than .08, driving on a suspended driver’s license, driving a vehicle without an interlock ignition device and violation of probation.
The Petaluma Police Department thanks the citizen for calling this dangerous driver into police and assisting us with getting him off the roadway. Motorists are always encouraged to call 911 or their local police department when they see someone driving they believe might be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
