What does it take to beat a DWI charge when you're double drunk and you wreck a vehicle you're not licensed to drive? Fame and money never
hurt.Tejano singer Emilio Navaira had a blood alcohol content of 0.19 — more than twice the legal limit — while driving the tour bus that crashed early March 23, according to a report made public today.
Navaira and five others were injured when the bus slammed into traffic barrels on the northbound West Loop on Easter Sunday about 4:55 a.m.
A supplemental report states that Harris County prosecutors said that the case warrants a DWI charge and that Assistant District Attorney Eric Kugler "felt the injuries were sufficient to support the charge of intoxication assault."
No charges have been filed against the 45-year-old singer, who is recovering at a Houston rehabilitation center.
If the State of Texas has two good reasons why his ass isn't in the Harris County detention center, I'd love to hear them. . . .
