Last Sunday, while the entire world and possibly part of our space was focused on the breathtaking mission in Pakistan that resulted in the killing of Osama Bin Laden, some critical celebrity Los Angeles DUI news occurred that’s only just beginning to nab the attention of the blogosphere.

This past week was very busy in terms of Burbank DUI and Los Angeles DUI celebrity news. An Atlanta Braves’ minor leaguer, Derrick Lowe; Notre Dame’s wide receiver, Michael Floyd; and crooner Rick Springfield all made big splashes.

As one might predict, news outlets across the nation lit up with provocative (and at times unseemly) discussions about the “Freaky Friday”…

Dan Werner, a former basketball player for Florida, got knocked with a DUI in Gainesville last week, and the arrest has echoed across the country – even Glendale DUI bloggers are talking about it. The 23-year-old Werner was pulled over because police noticed that one of his taillights had gone…
