Moon Township police say they charged 39-year-old Angle on Sept. 28 after a motorist told them Angle cut her off while pulling out of a bar parking lot that afternoon.

A police officer testified Tuesday he went to Angle’s Moon Township home, where the wrestler admitted to driving the vehicle and drinking a few beers at the bar that day. Police say Angle failed field sobriety tests and refused a blood test.

Angle’s attorney says police couldn’t place Angle in the vehicle at a specific time.

Angle won a gold medal in the 1996 Summer Olympics.

What’s interesting here is not someone wanting to avoid LA county jail, but getting a DUI when the accident is not your fault. I don’t know what agency arrested Mr. Collins, but people should be aware that CHP is trained to treat every traffic incident as a DUI investigation. Any time you are pulled over, no matter if it’s for expired plates, a burned out tail light, failure to signal, or any other traffic infraction, CHP will investigate potential alcohol involvement.

If you are in an accident, your duty is to make sure the other party does not need medical attention. If no one needs medical attention then you should give the other party your address, insurance and registration information. Once you’ve done that, you are not required to wait until the cops arrive. If medical attention is required, you must give them your information AND render reasonable assistance, including transporting, or making arrangements for transporting, any injured person to a doctor or hospital for medical treatment, if it is apparent that treatment is necessary or if the other party requests such transportation.

The duty to stop at the scene of an accident can be found in California Vehicle Code Sections 20001, 20002, 20003 and 20004. There is also a reporting duty to DMV when someone is injured or when property damage is above $750.00.

That’s according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s department, who say the single-vehicle crash happened around 12:30 Sunday morning on the 19-hundred block of East Ojai Avenue.

Sheriff’s deputies say Avary’s wife was ejected from the car.She’s said to be in stable condition, another passenger, 42-year-old Andreas Zini of Italy was killed.

Avary, a 42-year-old Ojai resident was released from jail on $50,000 bail.
