No Mikey. This is a lesson that people on the internet need to be patient and wait for ALL pertinent facts and info to come out before rushing to a side to play defense and/or point fingers

This happens every single time, for every single controversial incident that happens on TD

There are a few very good reasons that most info about situations like this are held back from the general public before shite goes to trial. You’re too smart to NOT know this


I disagree. The girl and her family were drug through the mud. Everyone said the girl was drunk and the parents should have kept her home that night. The Denham Springs should have released the BAC of Robertson as soon as they had it. I feel the police fricked up royally by letting him leave the scene and therefore want this all forgotten. People in the DSPD should be held accountable. Because like dallastigers said.

Also sounds like he was allowed to leave and go home. It won’t surprise anyone when he claims he was stressed and took a couple shots to calm his nerves after he got home.

What makes you say that? Seems unlikely to me that DSPD would let him leave and then go to his house in BR for a blood draw 2-3 hours later.

I would think they held him at the scene until they received a warrant for the blood draw.

Unless there’s something I’m missing.

This includes every popular DUI urban legend. Sounds like the drunk guy had right of way. Also sounds like he was allowed to leave and go home. It won’t surprise anyone when he claims he was stressed and took a couple shots to calm his nerves after he got home.


Except that he was going 30 over in a 45mph. Some states that’s a hefty infraction if not a misdemeanor in and of itself. At night, that’s incredibly dangerous.

I’m not sure how he wouldn’t be arrested and charged with serious jail time just because of that alone causing the accident.

Eta: It also seems absurd that the police would let someone go home in a 45 mph zone with a death. It would be blatantly obvious the guy wasn’t doing 45mph to cause that sort of an accident, a wreck going 70 will be completely different and at 45mph he likely slows down to 25-30 instead of 50-60 that he was likely doing at impact.

Per the UWK report
quote:

Robertson also suffered minor injuries but declined transport to a hospital. His mother arrived at the scene to take him home.

So it's unclear exactly what happened from the time of the accident to the blood draw.
But if his BAC was 0.09, why wasn't he given a DWI on 1-1-24?? Again, seems like DSPD is covering for their failures.

Why haven't the news media or the DSPD posted a picture of Robertson? Can you post their pic?

The police aren’t giving out information so the OT lounge can feel better about their internet postings.

Yes, I read that. But as I said:
quote:

I would think they held him at the scene until they received a warrant for the blood draw.

The report says he tested 0.09 “nearly 3 hours after” the crash.

There’s no way they let him peace out 15 minutes immediately after a fatal crash. I’ve been stuck waiting an hour after fender benders, much less a crash with a fatality. On top of that his mom had to come get him. Police were probably more focused on the high school girl at first so I imagine it took a while before they even officially took his statement.

If it was a blood draw, they had to get a warrant. Which means they requested a warrant at some point.

What’s more likely?
A) That DSPD requested a warrant for a blood draw, let him leave with his mom, then went to his house after a couple of hours to draw the blood.. or,
B) That DSPD requested a warrant for a blood draw, held him at the scene until the they had a warrant and a tech ready to draw the blood, then let him leave with his mom?

My money is on B.

This is a better question. I could see it taking time to get the results back from the blood draw since it would have presumably been done in the field without the benefit of the “DWI bus” like you see at checkpoints. But normally if someone is requesting a warrant for blood draw, they would have first asked the driver to blow. If you don’t blow they arrest you under suspicion of DWI anyway. So I don’t really get that part of it.

I agree scenario “B” seems the most likely. And let’s hope so, otherwise the DWI will be dismissed.
Seems like the OT greats could find out would took place with the blood draw.
Have a good day.

Lawyers of the OT, IMHO you do NOT need a warrant to draw blood if you refuse the test- please confirm because this is a myth, they did not need a warrant for this, I am sorry to say this happened to my brother in law, he refused and they drew blood on the scene, thank you

Who drew his blood? I don't think I would want a cop drawing my blood. I'm not sure if I'd want an EMT drawing my blood at the scene.

Dudes a dumbass. When I use to drink and drive I’d at least go the speed limit. Going 70+ in a 40 is ridiculous.

Apparently saying that it's not unreasonable to assume that a teenager was drinking and driving on New Years Eve equals dragging names through the mud. A bunch of emotional women on this site.

Trash always prevails. I agree with you. He could have ran away at any time, too. There’s not much posted about this and no pics. Why isn’t the media plastering his mug?

Denham Springs Police is investigating the crash and said it it still under investigation if the Walker High senior did not stop at the red light or try to piece together exactly what happened. Meanwhile, the driver on Range Ave. did have a green light, according to DSPD.

“Impairment is believed to be a contributing factor in the crash,” according to DSPD.

Toxicology samples were taken from both drivers, which will be submitted for analysis.

The initial reports left a lot to be interpreted and some people did. So sad this happened and my heart goes out to the parents.

what he wants isn’t a concern of mine. Could’ve let a pit bull rip his arm off and collect it outta the puddle as far as my worrying about what he wants.

If this guy said he drank and smoked pot after he left the scene, frankly I think that's plausible.
