TUCSON, Ariz. — A new DUI diversion program in Green Valley is providing first-time offenders with an alternative path to address their offenses and transform their lives. The program is being spearheaded by Ray Carroll, the Justice of the Peace for Pima County Precinct 07."They can have that DWI or DUI reduced to reckless driving after a whole six months of classes and AA meetings," he said.
"Everybody takes the hot seat and kind of tells the judge where they are at. The judge asks questions like 'Are you going to meetings? Have you got a sponsor?'""The changes this program made on me will probably follow me through the rest of my life, and it will affect the way I raise my kids," he said.
"I signed the paperwork, pled guilty to the DUI, and the following Wednesday was my first day of DUI court," he said.
