Dennis Malaimare, from Arizona city, is in a huge amount of trouble with the law and will soon be in need of an Arizona DUI attorney. The Arizona Republic reports that the 29-year-old was booked earlier this week on charges of aggravated assault on a minor under 16, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, aggravated DUI - child under 16 in vehicle, endangerment, open container of alcohol in vehicle, and felony flight.
While all of these charges may sound like a mouthful, police say that the man acted irresponsibly by endangering the life of a minor. The incident began when Gila River police tried to pull over Mr. Malaimare on suspicion of driving under the influence at Val Vista Drive and Germann Road in Gilbert. Police say that the man failed to stop and led police on a chase while his four-year-old son was in the car.
After using a PIT maneuver, police say that they were finally able to stop Mr. Malaimare at the Higley Road exit off Santan Loop 202. However, ABC News reports that the suspect allegedly tried to fight off the police officers when being removed from his vehicle. The police found several bottles of beer inside the vehicle along with a glass pipe that had black smoke residue.
The four-year-old boy, who was riding in the passenger seat of the vehicle, reportedly had no injuries after the incident. If Mr. Malaimare is convicted of all the charges, he faces multiple years of imprisonment.
