Driving While Intoxicated is the offense of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. State law controls whether operating includes actual driving of the car or merely sitting in the car and the level of intoxication needed in order to be found in violation of the law. Some statutes refer to driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while impaired (DWI) that does not require intoxication. DUI and DWI lawyers represent people who have been arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. DUI and DWI attorneys defend clients at each stage of a DUI or DWI case -- from arrest to an appeal after conviction. A DUI and DWI attorney may challenge aspects of a DUI or DWI arrest or conviction, including breathalyzer and chemical testing procedures.
Herlong is an unincorporated community in Lassen County, California. It is located 8 miles (13 km) north of Doyle, at an elevation of 4114 feet (1254 m). Herlong is located in southern Lassen County near the southeast edge of Honey Lake about 70 miles (110 km) north of Reno, Nevada, and about 45 miles (72 km) south of Susanville. The community is accessible to U.S. Route 395 via Lassen County Route A25 or Lassen County Route A26. Herlong is located at the extreme Eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in the southeastern region of Honey Lake Valley. Herlong is a town built to house civilian workers for Sierra Army Depot which was built in 1942. Sierra Army Depot was one of several ammunition storage facilities located far enough from the coast to be safe from Japanese attack. The site where Sierra was built also met the requirement that the depot be in a dry and isolated area for storage and safety. Herlong was named for Captain Henry W. Herlong, the first Army ordnance officer to die in WWII. Oddly, at first, the postal stamps, money orders and equipment bore the spelling 'Hurlong' which lasted for about 5 days, before the error was corrected. Since its beginning, the town which was built around the base has ebbed and flowed, having gone from a peak of about 5,000, in the 1950s (most of whom are civilian employees on the base), to the current population of 900. Herlong has numerous churches. These include Bible Baptist Church, which is an Independent Baptist church pastored by Michael Reed, an Assembly of God church, and a Southern Baptist church. The Office of Historic Preservation currently lists 62 historic properties in Herlong on its Historic Properties Data File for Lassen County. Herlong is in Lassen County, which is one of the last counties in the west that is still considered "open range" land. One issue with this is the occasional cow on the road, causing numerous accidents, as well as cattle grazing the lawns of the local community. The Sierra Army Depot now serves as a munition and explosive disposal area, destroying approximately 53 million decommissioned explosive annually. The ZIP Code is 96113. The community is inside area code 530.
