A Tucson
man awaiting trial on manslaughter and DUI charges was involved
in another crash two weeks ago while driving drunk, according to
police and court records.
According
to a Tucson Police Department report, Douglas Scott Perrin, 38,
was driving east on East Golf Links Road on Jan. 5 when his vehicle
ran into the back of another car stopped at a red light at South
Camino Seco at about noon.
Perrin
and his 6-year-old daughter weren't injured, and neither were the
driver of the other car, Brandon Calvert, and his son, 2.
On
Tuesday, Perrin was indicted by a Pima County grand jury on one
count of aggravated driving while under the influence of an intoxicating
liquor or drugs while a minor was present and one count of child
abuse.
The
Jan. 5 crash mirrors one last July 14 that killed Charles Darnell
Parker, 61.
Police
said Parker was stopped at a red light near South Kolb and East
Stella roads when his vehicle was rear-ended by Perrin's.
Parker
suffered a broken neck and died three weeks later from his injuries.
According
to police reports, Perrin was driving 13 miles per hour over the
speed limit when he hit Parker's vehicle. He was driving 10 mph
under the speed limit when he struck Calvert's car, police say.
According
to police and court records, this is Perrin's third DUI-related
arrest since October 2004.
At
the time of the Parker crash, Perrin was serving a year's unsupervised
probation for a DUI conviction.
In
that case, he was pulled over after being seen
