Nery Diaz Deleon/Guatemala/Driving Under Influence Liquor

Guatemalan national Nery Diaz Deleon was arrested in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on a driving under the influence of liquor charge after an officer observed erratic driving consistent with impairment on city streets. Michigan treats operating while intoxicated as a criminal offense for all drivers, including visiting foreign nationals, and applies the same blood-alcohol limits and roadside testing requirements regardless of immigration status. Diaz Deleon was taken into custody at the traffic stop and transported to jail for booking, where he faced formal OWI processing and chemical testing under state procedures.​

Following his arrest in Grand Rapids, Diaz Deleon’s case was referred to local prosecutors to determine misdemeanor drunk driving charges and potential penalties such as jail time, fines, and license-related sanctions. As a Guatemalan citizen, any DUI conviction could also trigger immigration review once the criminal case is resolved.
