Shannon White's 2000 DUI charge - 8.3.07

COURT DOCUMENTS: CLICK HERE

While doing a background check trying to determine what, if any, prior conviction points Shannon White would have if he is convicted of felony hit and run and involuntary manslaughter, I came across the 2000 driving while under the influence charge that was later dropped.

Shannon White is charged with the hit and run death of Johnathon Scruggs, an 18-year-old who was walking home from his first day of work and school. He was struck on Caleb Road, just yards away from his home.

Here are the details of the 2000 DUI case:

N.C. Trooper J. C. McClelland responded to a wreck involving White. According to court documents, at 10:11 a.m. on June 20, 2000 "He was involved in an accident. He had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath, glassy red eyes and slurred speech."

He was arrested and taken to the Cleveland County Jail and given a breather analyzer test.

The test was administered at 12:01 p.m. White blew a .05, which is within the legal limit. Charges were later dropped in August.

Check back later today to take a look at the court documents yourself.

This weekend, there will be a story about what his potential sentence might be if he is convicted.
