On the evening August 9th 40 year old Deette S. Rude, of Battle Ground was suspected of driving her vehicle while under the influence of prescription medications when she was involved in an injury traffic collision that occurred in the 6700 block of NE 199th Street. Deette collided with a vehicle driven by Gloryann Bonebrake, 64 of Battle Ground, as Gloryann was turning into her driveway. Gloryann was transported to the hospital and was released the following day with minor injuries. During the investigation of this collision Deette was found to be under the influence of drugs. Multiple prescription medications were found on her person.
On August 11th Rude was involved in a collision at the intersection of NE 72nd Ave and NE 199th Street. Rude collided with German Roldan, 42 of Woodland. Roland was not injured in this collision. The preliminary investigation into this collision shows that Rude was the proximate cause of the accident where she collided with a stopped vehicle. Investigators determined Rude's ability to drive was impaired by the use of drugs. Investigators also located several different prescription drugs in Rude's possession including a bottle of stolen prescription medications.
On August 12, 2010 Deette S. Rude was arrested and booked into the Clark County Jail on one count of Driving Under the Influence, one count of Violation of Interlock device and eleven counts of Possession of a Ledged Drug with out a Prescription. The arrest followed a one day stay in a local hospital that resulted from the collision that occurred on August 11th.
This arrest also included a violation of an interlock devise condition. This condition was put in place following a previous DUI arrest and required that Rude utilize a breathalyzer that attaches to her vehicle's ignition system. This device is a precautionary measure that is intended to prevent someone from starting a vehicle if they have consumed alcoholic beverages. The vehicle Rude was operating was not equipped with this interlock device.
This is Rude's second arrest for DUI drugs in three days and her third DUI drugs since May of this year. The latest DUI arrest would be Rude's fifth DUI arrest in the past two years.
Rude posted bail on August 12th and was released from custody.
The Clark County Prosecuting Attorney's Office works within the state sentencing guidelines to actively pursue all forms of Driving Under the Influence charges. Currently, DUI's in the state of Washington are a misdemeanor offense until an individual has four previous DUI convictions. A fifth conviction can then be charged as a felony.
The Clark County Sheriff's Office is committed to strictly enforcing Driving Under the Influence laws including prescription drug related offenses. The public should take extra precautions to ensure that they are informed of any restrictions and warnings that accompany any prescription or over the counter medications and the possible effects on their ability to safely drive a vehicle.
As part of this enforcement effort the Sheriff's Office is participating in several state and local DUI enforcement emphasis patrols in the coming months.
