"What stories aren't being covered?"

I interviewed police officer Don Heroff after a presentation he gave at the CUB about alcohol use and abuse and how to stay safe in Pullman. He had a lot of ideas about stories that aren't being covered that were actually related to his presentation. During the presentation, someone asked if you can get a DUI for driving while high. Later he told me he wished more people new that you definitely can get a DUI for being under the influence of any drug while driving, not just alcohol. He said DUIs for drugs other than alcohol have been skyrocketing in Pullman, and most times the perpetrator is argumentative because they don't think they should be getting a DUI if they aren't drunk. But he says most of these unorthodox DUIs are not covered in the media for some reason. He thinks they should be covered more so that people will be more aware they can get in trouble for driving under the influence of anything so that they won't do it anymore. He said a lot of people think it's safe to drive high, or on other drugs, but driving under the influence of anything is dangerous and can get you put in jail and he wants people to know that.
I think I could definitely make a story out of this. It's very interesting because it's true that most DUIs you hear about are for driving drunk, so you don't really think about the consequences of driving high on other drugs. It is definitely relevant to WSU students and people on Pullman because obviously alcohol and drug use is prevalent on most college campuses. Also, I think many students who use drugs would be interested to know this because a lot of them probably didn't know you could get a DUI for driving high and hopefully it would make them think twice about doing it.
