The DUI charges against Manatee County Commissioner George Kruse are dropped because no witnesses stayed to verify he was in his truck that was found wrapped around a tree in Bradenton, Florida on April 20, 2022. When police arrived to the scene of the crash, Kruse was found sitting in his wife’s vehicle, who was driving right behind him. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie breaks down the case.

how many times is this cop going to say Grain of Salt
That is bullcrap!!!! If it were me, I’d have been in cuffs
So he got a second chance
So does mr. Commissioner still have his job?
Another politician doesnt want anything to get out. Surprise. Ordinary get a ticket😂
absolutely outrageous. He admitted he was driving the truck. Why do you need a witness? No field sobriety tests, just said go home. I don't care if he just hit a tree. He was driving drunk.
Piece of crap. Should be arrested, but no! They don’t have the balls to prosecute him
That tree was planted!
Florida government is a bastion of crime so is Texas
Totally disgusting excuse for a peace officer and the elected officials are just as guilty for allowing this to be excused!!!
I don't get this, he admits to driving and his wife admits she was following him. Shame on the courts.
If this was the UK, as soon as he admitted driving he would have been breathalysed and arrested.. BUT – I'm going to say this – I do like how you do it over there – as the only thing injured was his truck (and his pride).
We are relying on our American Cousins to protect your Constitution with your all you have. The world needs it as a beacon for individual freedom. 🇺🇲🇬🇧
He admitted to driving into the tree. So how are they unable to place him behind the wheel?At the very least he should be arrested for drinking La Croix.
Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime. If they can’t prove DUI, they should have him on his other illegal activity.
Why is he above the law?
they ripping up the road and i wammed on brakes and slurred over there
Cover-up😡
This is crazy i cant stand ppl anymore
He is under the influence
Did confirm he was driving
No fst done on him
He was let go….
Grain of salt he says! lol
The cops are corrupt as much as that lawmaker
Oh big dui crash? Go home chill out don't worry we will take care of this chief. You cant make it up, unless you are Quentin Tarantino ffs!!.
He said he was driving. How is that not proof enough. He said what’s happened?? This country is disgusting. Doesn’t matter for anyone else but these people
He’s clearly drunk out of his mind. How was this dropped??? CHARGE THIS MAN!
Wow. Dropped? Why???
RUT RHO😮😅 Hopefully, the charges were dropped for good cause. Maybe he resigned if he was legit over the limit to be honorable to his Title/People that voted for him? Does sound Suspect and can't believe he got to go home: If had been anybody else, they would have been in handcuffs and off to Jail–Am I wrong? deb in SC😊 12/20/2023🎅☃️🛷🎁🎄 Happy Holidays
He can't place him behind the wheel because he wasn't behind it when he arrived and no witnesses stayed. Ummm, dude, you contradicted your story. You had a witness who was traveling behind him, even told you that. In my eyes, I'm pretty sure that's called a witness, right? 🤔
Didn't watch past 30 seconds. Not going to since charges were dropped. Not cool.
Admissions re him driving are admissions that incriminate; lack of Miranda means those admissions would not be admissible in court; before u dump all over the cops, etc. LEARN THE LAW!
Corruption
