2nd DUI in a year. Seriously man??

Quote:
Diamondbacks television analyst Mark Grace is taking a leave of absence from the broadcast booth one day after he was arrested by Scottsdale Police Thursday night for DUI.

The team announced the move Friday afternoon, saying in a statement that Grace "requested an indefinite leave of absence to seek personal assistance. Due to the nature of Grace's request, the team will have no further comment on the matter at this time."

Grace was arrested by a Scottsdale Police officer at approximately 9 p.m. Thursday night according to Sgt. Mark Clark.

Grace was pulled over near 7200 E. McCormick Parkway for having an expired registration plate displayed on his vehicle. After speaking to Grace and administering standard field-sobriety tests, the officer determined probable cause to arrest Grace for DUI.

He was arrested without incident.

Grace was driving his vehicle without an interlock device (as was required) and his license was suspended for a prior DUI in Scottsdale on May 30, 2011.

Luis Gonzalez will take Grace's spot on the Fox Sports Arizona games on Friday and Saturday. Joe Garagiola will work Sunday's game.

1 1/4 years. Still absurd considering it was the Phoenix area of Arizona where they crack down on that like no other.

Pretty sure that's where Charles Barkley got his DUI that resulted in jail time. Almost as bad as the Chicago suburbs for DUI enforcement.

It's not bad enough that you're getting a second DUI, but this is either a belief of entitlement or stupidity. If DRUNKIDIOT doesn't fit on an Arizona license plate, the above actions would do just fine. Between Grace and Zorich, my childhood sports guys are proving children shouldn't look at athletes as role models.

If AZ is anything like here he is screwed. In PA if you are caught driving after DUI without the interlock or on a DUI suspended license it is an automatic additional year of suspension. Thats not even counting if you are caught for another DUI. He is going to the slammer and will not drive for years.

He is going to have to go to rehab as part of his sentencing in order to survive this one.

Maybe he get a room with Jessie Jr and they can talk to the doc about all the chicks they have nailed.

I bet fake rehab is awesome. workout a ton, eat some good food, watch some TV, give your legal team 30-60 days to work on your dui issues or infidelity/prenup negotiations

I think Danmeneal might be the only celebish who sent to such therapy because he thought he needed it, not because he was caught and needed the Rehab Graduation Certificate to get out of a problem.

Did Grace get fired from FOX? I don't think I've seen him do a Sox or Cubs game this year. If he did, I'm sure it's cuz of the boozing.

Grace did leave FOX after last season according to wikipedia. They didn't say if he quit or got fired.

I have to believe that there are a lot of half Mexican kids in Arizona that are legal citizens because of Gracie. These drunken nights don't always end with a DUI for him.
