Omaha DUI Golf Cart Case

Omaha (but could be anywhere). A woman rides in a golf cart. The driver of the cart is drunk by any definition. Not something that is too unusual on the golf course, right?

Then something goes terribly wrong. The cart tips. The passenger is killed. Suddenly a nice day on an Omaha course turns into a vehicular homicide prosecution.

Death Raises Questions About Alcohol On Golf Courses - Omaha News Story - KETV Omaha: “Mcillece's blood-alcohol level was measured at more than twice the legal limit. She has been charged with DUI and motor vehicle homicide. Mcillece has a bond hearing scheduled for Thursday.

City Prosecutor Marty Conboy said a golf cart, as a motorized vehicle, stands within the definition of the law.”

For golfers in Omaha and really everywhere, this is a wake-up call. Your day at the golf course can turn into more than a decade in prison.

Under Omaha DUI Law, there is no exception for private property.
