In what could have been a tragic mishap on the roads of Harris County, a man was arrested for driving while heavily intoxicated and with a weapon in his possession. According to the Facebook post by Constable Mark Herman’s Office, Victor Bezanilla Moya was discovered inebriated behind the wheel on February 28 in a moving lane of traffic after deputies were called to the 5600 block of FM 1960.
Deputies found Moya passed out, and upon waking, he exhibited clear signs of intoxication. The subsequent field sobriety tests indicated a significant impairment, with Moya's blood-alcohol content registering at 0.248, a staggering three times the legal limit. The scene, thankfully void of any crashes or injuries, could have spelled disaster on another night with heavier traffic or less fortunate timing.
Compounding his reckless state, Moya was found to be unlawfully carrying a firearm. "Victor Bezanilla Moya was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Driving While Intoxicated and Unlawly Carrying of a Weapon," stated Constable Herman in the announcement. Despite the severity of the offenses, Moya's total bond was set at an arguably meager $200.00 out of County Court 9.
The incident shines a spotlight on the continued perils of drunk driving, despite years of aggressive campaigns against the practice. While Moya avoided causing harm on this occasion, his irresponsible actions serve as a stark reminder of what could occur when someone decides to drive, under such dangerous levels of impairment. More information on the case will likely be revealed following court proceedings and any additional investigations by local authorities.
