William F. Sommers III, 29, is facing driving under the influence charges after he hit a parked car with his truck and driving away in Bath, Pennsylvania.

Around 10 p.m. on Valentine's night, two police officers witnessed Sommers hit the parked car and tried to drive away. Sommers was soon after stopped by the cops.

The cops conducted several field sobriety tests in which Sommers failed. He had a blood alcohol level of 0.14.

The legal limit for motorists in Pennsylvania is .08 percent, same as California.

According to police, Sommers smelled of alcohol and told the officers he did not know he hit the parked vehicle.

Sommers was arraigned and charged with driving under the influence and with "accidents involving damage to unattended vehicle or property."

In Los Angeles, California the legal limit of blood alcohol content is .08 and anything above that is illegal and can result in a DUI.

Heidi Jackson, 47, was driving on Tuesday February 7, 2012 when she swerved into oncoming. Her vehicle hit a vehicle driven by David Daly, 59.

Daly swerved to try and avoid Jackson, and his vehicle swerved and overturned.

Both Jackson and Daly were taken by the paramedics to a medical center.

Jackson was later arrested and booked on suspicion of felony DUI.

Driving under the influence is charged either as a misdemeanor or a felony. A felony charge has more severe penalties and if you are facing a felony DUI.

Usually, a fourth DUI conviction, a DUI with injury or vehicular manslaughter will be charged as a felony in California.
