I-Team: Dwi Deputy rejected 55 hours after the arrest; District Prosecutor says he is a “wonderful man” – wafb

Baton Rouge, La. (WAFB) – The State Chapter of Mothers Against Driving in Baton Rouge Is Demanding Answers Monday Affic Rs Later.

It happened in Monroe on Sunday, January 26, 2025. From the United States, the 80th highway is the first time Mad said they had seen something like that happened on such a screaming and more person.

Their organization regularly travels through the state observation DWI from custody through a sentence.

“For this to happen, this is unethical,” said Madd CEO Sunny Wall.

WAFB’s I-Team received arrest reports stating that Donovan Stanley Jin was driving a black SUV when he was spinning and out of a travel lane. He was pulled out and then the arrest soldier noted that the soldier found a smell usually associated with alcoholic beverages emitted by his breath. I also watched red, watery eyes, slow, stuck speech and bad balance. “

The report states that Jin was arrested and transported to LSP-F, where his rights were read, as they refer to in a chemical intoxication test. He presented the state’s breathing test, and the results of Intxilyzer 9000 pointed out a BAC of .136 g%. “

Less than 55 hours later, district prosecutor Steve Theu refused to pursue the allegations. WAFB I-Team asked if there was a problem with the report that the state police had written.

“I see no problem with what the state police did,” Theu told WAFB Chris Nakamoto to WAFB. “I look at this case as I know this young man. I’ve seen his job and I’m not friends with him … We look at every case and try to get justice. I do not want to ruin the career of this wonderful person and I did it for employees who are not skirts, and I will continue to do it. “

WAFB asked how many other DWI TEWs thought he had been fired and how others could get the same treatment that Jin received if his cabinet was already chasing them. Theu said it would require a trip to the court and a lawyer on their side.

“They will have to get a lawyer to cancel the sentence and the legal basis,” Theu said. “After they pray that this is beyond my hands and to the court, so they will have to submit a proposal and cancel their guilty recognition and sentence.”

Wall said that her organization was smeared by the incident and believes that this is the reason why people have lost faith in the justice system with the rule of law, which are not applied evenly to all citizens.

“It’s hypocritical,” Wall said. “This is not only a slap in the face of anyone who goes through the consequences of receiving DWI, but also the victims who have lost loved ones due to disturbed driving. This is a slap in the face of everyone, other law enforcement officers. “

Although most people believe in the second chances, the speed at which this DWI is fired raises questions.

“He is a young man, has a family and has a clean record,” Theu said. “When I look at it, I say that this person wants to be in the law enforcement agencies and will help him. I think he deserves it. “

Owacha’s parish sheriff’s service said Jin resigned after DWI. Gin was first hired by OPSO in 2015. Subsequent questions and their calls were not returned.
