(Yuba-Sutter, CA) – In Yuba County Court yesterday, 43-year-old Joe Baldwin of Placerville was sentenced to 4 years, 4 months for DUI causing great bodily injury.

Baldwin was arrested last October 23rd when, according to a Yuba County District Attorney press release, he had an argument with his wife and went for a drive to “let off some steam.” This was after Baldwin had six Seroquel “and enough gin to give him a blood alcohol level of .24%.” His drive took him to Yuba County where he collided head-on with Danielle Peters, pinning her behind the wheel, crushing her left foot, fracturing her pelvis, right ankle, right arm & five ribs and lacerating her legs & liver.

This is Baldwin’s third DUI conviction.
