Everyone knows celebrities love to party. They love to be seen, they love the spotlight, and what is a party without mood altering substances? Alcohol just seems to go with the atmosphere when it comes to celebrity parties and which celebrity does not like to be seen behind the wheel of a fancy automobile? Put these ingredients together and you have celebrity DWI! ![]() Celebrity DWI Arrest in the NewsCelebrity DWI arrest are all over the news these days and the numbers seem to be growing. Many notable celebrities, political figures, and athletes are making the news by getting behind the wheel after drinking heavily. Some of the stories are just pathetic and make you giggle but it also makes you wander; what is leading to all these celebrity DWIs? Cynics View of What Leads to Celebrity DWISome have a cynical view that these celebrities are just trying to get into the news, or they are trying to get extra publicity and save their sagging careers, but is this really the case? Are Celebrities Aware of the Risks of Drunk Driving?![]() Could it be that some celebrities just do not care? They could care less about the deaths and injuries that drunk drivers cause. They are too caught up in their own lives and careers and not worried about the consequences of drunk driving on the peasants that share the roads with them. Are they even aware of the risks? Celebrities are Insulated from the Consequences Of Drunk DrivingMany are not afraid of the potential penalties like regular folks are. Have you ever heard of an actor or actresses lose a role because they had a DUI of their record? How about a singer that did not get a contract because they plowed into the back of someone’s car and killed the poor person in the road? It just does not happen. They are insulated by their agents, lawyers, managers and handlers. Celebrities Choosing to Drink and DriveMany do choose to drink and drive because they have done it plenty of times before and never had a problem. They just do not feel the risk like Joe Blow from the factory that pounded down to many suds and finds himself in the holding tank and he cannot make bail or afford a big time lawyer to make it all go away. Celebrities may be willing to take the risk because they don’t consider drunk driving a threat to others!

His next court appearance is scheduled for 7/22, barring any plea agreement. Edwards missed his last court appearance due to a flight delay. Testimony may Cause Doubt in Drunk Driving Case
There have been reports that two other Jets players,who were in the vehicle when Edwards was stopped for an equipment violation, will testify that Edwards was not drunk when he was driving. However, authorities could counter with the results of breathalyzer test that record Edwards’ blood alcohol level at twice the legal limit. Drunk Driving Case may Harm Free AgencyThe player is a free agent this year and his legal issues will harm any offer that he may get from other teams. Reports say that New York is leaning towards resigning the 28-year-old wide receiver from the Cleveland Browns after he had an altercation with someone from Lebron James’ entourage in Ohio. Edwards was placed on probation to settle this offense and this is his first DWI charge. The Cleveland Browns drafted Edwards in the first round during 2005. He was the third player picked overall after playing for the Michigan Wolverines. Will Edwards Stay in New York?Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez was quoted by a New Jersey newspaper saying that he wanted Edwards back for next season. However, Edwards sold his nearby digs in New Jersey, which is a sign that he may be leaving, and facing DWI charges in New York may sour him on staying in the area.
