At least three Biloxi police officers and one Harrison County sheriff’s patrol unit responded to the scene on U.S. 90 at St. John Avenue. Neely was initially stopped for careless driving, Dobbs said, after he did a “burn out” on the road.
“We worry about the potential of people burning out, running into traffic and running into a bunch of people,” Dobbs said. “It also tears up the road. It just blows my mind when other cities allow it. We have zero tolerance for it.”
It blows my mind too as over-oiled cruisers garnering DUIs have now made the news twice over the weekend.
The arrest occurred around 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
Police obtained a search warrant to draw Neely’s blood to test for alcohol and drugs.
In addition, Neely received medical treatment for his injuries at Merit Health in Biloxi where he also submitted to a blood test because of a police search warrant.
Neely was booked into the Harrison County jail at 11:43 p.m. Saturday, the Harrison County jail docket says.
Justice Court Judge Albert Fountain set Neely’s total bond at $27,319.
Neely bonded out of jail at 6:46 a.m. Sunday, the docket says.
However there is a distinction between the two arrests which made the news because in Bay St. Louis there was a multi-car accident with injury that resulted in the DUI arrest.
