Cornhusker Shucked
Name: Danielle Nantkes
Claim to Fame: Nebraska State Senator
Dates of DUIs: DUI #1: April 24, 1997, DUI #2: Aug. 22, 1997, DUI #3: Feb. 14, 2007
Facts: Lincoln police stopped Nantkes twice before on suspicion of drunken driving, both times when she was 19. On Valentine’s Day 2007, Nantkes was driving at 1 am when she collided with a southbound front-end loader. The snow plow had not quite cleared the intersection at 19th Street when she hit its right rear. Nantkes told the officer she tried to stop but couldn’t because of snow, according to the accident report. Police said the officer observed signs of impairment and said Nantkes smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech, noticeably impaired balance and bloodshot, watery eyes. Nantkes allegedly refused to take field sobriety tests or a preliminary breath test at the scene and was taken to the police station, where she refused a chemical test. Police cited her on suspicion of negligent driving, misdemeanor driving under the influence and refusal of a preliminary breath test and chemical test.
The vehicle she was driving reportedly sustained more than $1,000 in damage, however the city snowplow that she crashed into was not damaged.
Outcome: DUI #1: Convicted of reckless driving and paid a $100 fine. DUI #2: Convicted of first offense DUI and ordered to serve one year on probation and pay $200.
DUI# 3: Plead guilty to DUI, given one year of probation and fined $1,000.
Did You Know? The Nebraska state Constitution allows that state senators — except in cases of treason, felony allegations or a breach of the peace — are privileged from arrest during the session and 15 days before and after. The Lincoln City prosecutor waited until the legislative session was in recess before filing charges.
