TUSCUMBIA — Tuscumbia Police Chief Tony Logan’s 2011 conviction on DUI has been upheld by the Alabama Court of Appeals, but the case isn’t over yet.
Logan was convicted in Florence Municipal Court in 2010 and then again in 2012 in Etowah County.
Logan was charged with DUI on Dec. 5, 2009, after he crashed his personal vehicle into his mailbox and collided with his city-owned car that was parked in the driveway of his former home on Castleton Road in Florence.
During the trial in Etowah County, Michael Weaver, a toxicologist for the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences, who prepared a report on a chemical analysis of Logan’s blood, testified that Logan was drunk at the time of the accident.
Weaver said a sample of blood collected from Logan about two hours after the accident showed his alcohol level was .27 grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. In Alabama, motorists are considered intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of .08.
Logan’s defense attorney, Tim Case, said today he will file an application for rehearing soon. He said he believes Logan will be eventually be exonerated because of multiple constitutional rights violations.
