Man Arrested And Charged For DUI With BAC Of 0.00

64-year-old Jessie Thornton of Surprise, Arizona is a retired firefighter who sleeps during the day and runs errands and works out at night so that he can be on the same schedule as his wife, who works nights as an ER nurse. Since moving to Surprise Thornton has been pulled over ten times and ticketed four times. In his most recent stop Thornton was arrested and charged with DUI, despite having a BAC of 0.00 and having no trace of drugs in his system determined by a drug recognition expert. Thornton and his lawyer say this is a case of D-W-B, or driving while black and have filed a claim against the City of Surprise seeking $500,000.
