    Thumbs down Stripper involved in a DUI kills a man and leaves an infant severly injured

    www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/mar/25/dancer-had-consumed-alcohol-xanax-fatal-accident-p/

    "A dancer on her way home from work at a strip club told police she had consumed two beers and taken anti-anxiety medication in the hours before she was involved in a fatal traffic accident early Saturday.Shauna Diane Miller, 26, Las Vegas, was arrested on a charge of DUI causing death after the Hummer H2 she was driving struck a Ford Escort and killed the driver, James Joseph White, 33, of Las Vegas. A 2-year-old passenger in the back seat of the Escort escaped serious injury, authorities said.
    White was less than two blocks from his home, records indicate.
    A Metro Police arrest report released Monday morning outlined the chain of events:
    The accident occurred around 7:21 a.m. at West Spring Mountain and South Wynn roads.
    Miller told police she was driving west on Spring Mountain and as she neared Wynn, the traffic signal on Spring Mountain turned from green to yellow. At that point, she saw the Escort traveling south on Wynn and turning right onto Spring Mountain. Miller said she tried to brake but was unable to avoid a collision with the car.
    Investigators from Metro’s fatal crash division, however, determined the Escort had been traveling south on Wynn and had not attempted a right turn. Additionally, investigators found no indication of “pre-impact” braking by the Hummer. Investigators had not determined which vehicle ran a stoplight.
    Miller told police she was coming off a shift as a dancer at the Spearmint Rhino strip club, where she had worked from 2 a.m. until 5:30 a.m. At the club, she said she had two beers, the last of which around 3 or 4 a.m. She also said she had taken a Xanax around 8 p.m. Friday.
    Miller failed two of three field sobriety tests but passed a preliminary breath test on an uncalibrated Breathalyzer. Based on those tests, Miller was arrested. Two samples of her blood were taken by a nurse at the Clark County Detention Center to determine actual blood-alcohol content.
    Miller, who had a temporary Nevada driver's license and a Clark County work card, remains jailed without bond."

    Don't you know, stripper are the lowest of the low and of course all are drunks (sarcasm). I always hated the fact that being a dancer put me in the scum category according to others and I knew that if I got into trouble being a dancer would be mentioned often in the paper. Scum is scum no matter the job, whether it's a stripper or a minister or any other job.

    I'm not sure if we should rush to judgement just yet. Not only did she pass the initial breathalyzer test, but they have not yet determined who ran the red light. The other field sobriety tests are highly subjective and involve gauging physical reactions, but after being in a serious collision and processing that fact that the guy was dead she was no doubt a wreck.

    Idk about anyone else, but I'm going to wait until the results of the blood work come back, as well as for other evidence about just who blew the red light, before coming to any conclusions. It may very well be that she was intoxicated and at fault, but there is just not enough there yet to be certain.

    I think this is a case of meds making her less aware than a case of drunkeness... Sheesh! Two drinks several hours before would not make her too impaired to drive, and the breathalyzer test seemed to show that. Most of the pills people take for anxiety, depression, etc. seem to give folks issues at one point or another; unfortunately for what seems to be the case here, it involved a fatal accident.

    Yeah, but she also took anti-anxiety medication. Xanax, valium or something similar + 2 beers... That would definitely render me unable to drive! :/ Still, I feel bad for everyone involved. Accidents are called accidents for a reason... Poor thing didn't think she'd be hurting anyone.
    “The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating -- in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around like rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.”

    If you are going to drink, then drink responsibly.

    If you are going to do drugs, then do drugs responsibly.

    Neither involve getting behind the wheel, and definitely not when done together. I hope she gets what she deserves for killing someone, even if it was an accident.

    On, the "she was a stripper" note, It's only purpose in even being mentioned is to make the article more "entertaining" to the reader. Damn fucking media. After the Cleveland stripper incident, I've had it with the slut shaming.

    I'm hate hearing this. It could been me over 5/6 yrs ago. Havent drank forever and makes me sick I would drink and drive. Being young /invinsible is a bad mix with alcohol. But what really pisses me off is the clubs know we drive, but certain clubs push us to drink and push rules of having sell 10 drinks per shift. I think clubs should start having to take some liability and responsibility with encouraging dancers to sell drinks.

    I mean hell, dancers go in there and pay to work there and tip out, bring in customers etc. Why try turn them out into alcoholics or help things like this to happen? Yeah, this girl should have nown better, but come on! This is happening everywhere, the clubs shoving drinks . I only work where commission on drinks is not a rule now thay I am older and learned my lessons.

    yeah, this is what I was thinking.


    also, unless her brakes locked up, is there really a way to tell if a car hit it's brakes or not? Or do you just judge based on if it left tire marks on the blacktop?

    I hate drunk drivers too-- just curious in this particular case because...well, maybe it wasn't her fault. But if it is, then yes she should get a lot of prison time, I hope.

    Glad the kid's okay though.

    I work in a club we have to blow and pass a breathylzer before we leave. A girl was passed who basically couldn't walk straight the other night. She more than likely took more drugs than she admited to.

    that's good your club does that, I have never heard of the breathalyzers at any clubs. At a club I worked at a long time ago where most of the girls would get so trashed on the weekends they could not walk , pass out in dressing room, puking in toilet etc,they would just give you a little bag of chips and if you were lucky enough to remember your payout commission or the management didn't short you to be at 9 drinks or something you could eat the chips while closing waiting on your payout and someone help you walk to car. I get furious thinking about it. Most girls would do upwards of 20 drinks or 10 double-shots as they would push for. And then keep you at 9 or 19 so not have to pay you your full amount and rip you off. Then shove you in your car to get a DUI or kill yourself or someone else. ugh crazy shit

    The Lodge in Dallas does breathalyzers and random drug tests.

    1. Your excerpt says the infant escaped serious injury. Not that s/he was left "severely injured" like the title says.

    2. Wow. Loving the judgment against this girl. Damn her for giving strippers a bad name; let's throw her in jail for that alone! Who cares that she passed the breathalyzer. And field tests? Yeah, seen those done. There's no way in hell I would pass one if I had just been in a bad accident, even if I hadn't drank for a week prior. Obviously, I don't know what dosage of Xanax she took or if it was prescribed to her, but she reportedly took it 12 hours before the accident. The time-release ones don't hit you hard enough to knock you out at the wheel, and the regular kind would have hit her the hardest 8-10 hours before the accident. Yes, it would still be detectable in her system, but no, she would not be fucked up.

    This girl could have done any number of highly irresponsible things that contributed to a man's death, and we all have personal anecdotes we could slap together to explain what happened. She could be lying about what she took/drank, and when. Or she could have been a tired driver who didn't stop in time, and the other driver may have made an unsafe maneuver as well. So how about instead of spinning individual narratives, or lamenting what a bad name she gives strippers, or throwing the same judgment that everyone on here hates receiving, we just say "driving under the influence is bad," and remember it next time we're working and think taking shots might be a fun idea to pass the night.

    She also took Xanax, and that's a narcotic. Even if she hadn't had the beers and was under the effects of the Xanax, she'll still get the DUI.

    Xanax is not a narcotic. Yes, you can be ticketed for driving with it in your system, even if you're prescribed. However, you can also be ticketed for driving after using cold medication if you fuck up badly enough.

    Can someone just close this thread? All it is is misinformation and assumptions.

    A narcotic is a drug that causes pain relief or induces sleep, mostly derived from opiates. I've taken kolonopin for 5 years and they won't refill in certain states where my script is not written because they consider it a narcotic. It's not as controlled as opiates but it is a controlled substance and in some states considered a narcotic!
