Prattville, Alabama

Prattville is a city located in Autauga County, Alabama and partially in Elmore County, Alabama. As of the 2000 census, the population of the city is 24,303. The city is the county seat of Autauga County, Alabama. It is nicknamed "The Fountain City" due to the many artesian wells in the area. The city was founded in 1839 by well-known industrialist and architect Daniel Pratt.

What is now Prattville was largely inhabited by Native Americans and a few settlers when Daniel Pratt, a native of Temple, New Hampshire, first observed the Autauga Creek in the 1830's.

Pratt purchased approximately 1000 acres from Joseph May at $21.00 an acre, and set out to build his manufacturing facilities and the town along the banks of the Autauga creek. This location was chosen because the creek could supply power to the Gin's manufacturing equiptment.

In the past 10 years, Prattville's city limits have began to expand eastward into neighboring Elmore County. While the original plan was to keep this portion of the city stricty commercial, due to the rapid increase in population, housing developments are currently being built on the Elmore County side.

Prattville is also the home of legendary singer Wilson Pickett, as well as NFL stars Roman Harper, Kevin Turner, and Zac Woodfin.

DUI & Driving Under The Influence:
Alabama DUI Priority :
Under the Alabama drunk-driving law, it seems the first three convictions are treated as misdemeanors, for which the guilty can go to jail for up to a year. However, a fourth conviction is a felony, which can draw a sentence of up to 10 years in jail.

DUI Attorney General :
Attorney General Troy King said he had considered appealing the ruling to the state Supreme Court but that the appellate court's findings made an appeal unlikely to succeed. Instead, King will ask the Legislature next year to change the law.

Federal DUI Regulations :
Federal Air Regulation 91.17 (14 CFR 91.17) prohibits pilots from flying aircraft with an alcohol level of 0.04% or more, and/or within eight hours of consuming alcohol, and/or while under the impairing influence of any drug.[3] The same prohibition applies to any other crewmembers on duty aboard the aircraft (flight attendants, etc.). Some airlines impose additional restrictions, and many pilots also impose stricter standards upon themselves. Commercial pilots found to be in violation of regulations are typically fired or resign voluntarily, and they may lose their pilot certificates and/or be subject to criminal prosecution under Federal or State laws, effectively ending their careers.
