LAPD arrest beauty pageant winner, Tori Vance, on DUI charges

Posted on May 15th, 2012 No Comments

Tori Vance was 16 years old when she was crowned the 2010 Miss Arizona Teen USA winner. Two years later, at the age of 18, Vance is in the spotlight for a different reason: driving under the influence.

Vance was driving in Los Angeles on Cinco de Mayo when she failed to make a U-turn in the correct area. A Los Angeles police officer pulled over the young beauty queen and asked her to participate in a field sobriety test. She went through the common functions of a field sobriety test and allegedly failed.

She was arrested and charged with driving under the influence. Vance has yet to make a public statement about her arrest, but according to sources, she still has plans to take part in the Miss California 2013 pageant.

If you believe the field sobriety test that was performed in your DUI case was not legitimate, please contact the DUI defense lawyers of Fischer & Van Thiel, LLP, by calling 760-722-7646 today.
