Our Client was arrested for DUI that stemmed from a traffic accident. A Sergeant was the first to arrive on scene, but the case was investigated by a road officer. Our Client cooperated with law enforcement and blew 0.141/0.136 on the Intoxilyzer. During the course of our representation and investigation into the case, the road officer was arrested for theft. As such, the State would be unable to call him and unable to admit the breath test at trial but still had the Sergeant and others at the scene to testify against our Client. With a case that could go either way for either side, through proper negotiations, we resolved the case to a wet reckless. As our Client had a commercial driver license, this resolution avoided a permanent disqualification of his commercial driver license and complete loss of employment.
