Case #: 2021CT-**** DUI Reduced

Charge: DUI

DUI

Our client was arrested and charged with DUI after he was stopped for failing to maintain a single lane. After stopping the vehicle, the officer approached the vehicle and observed the lone occupant putting on a mask. The officer smelled the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the driver. He noticed the driver had bloodshot and glassy eyes. The officer suspected that he put on a medical mask just to hide the odor and slurred speech. Our client completed field sobriety exercises and he was arrested. He did not provide a breath sample. After reviewing his video, we filed a motion to suppress the stop, arrest, and the breath test refusal. Prior to the final hearing, the State amended the charge to Reckless Driving. Our client accepted the offer with the following conditions: he paid a $25 fine, 6 months' probation, DUI School, and received no points.

Case #: 21-CT-**3* – DUI Dismissed

Charge: DUI

DUI

Our client was arrested and charged with DUI. The officer observed the vehicle driving with an expired tag and he determined the registered owner had a suspended license. He followed the vehicle for some time and observed no unsafe operation of the vehicle. He stopped the vehicle and the driver pulled into a parking lot. The officer observed his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, and he detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle. The officer observed several small empty bottles of whiskey sitting on the floorboard. He took the driver’s car keys and began his DUI investigation. The driver refused to participate in Field Sobriety Exercises and was subsequently arrested. He also refused to provide breath. We filed a motion to suppress the stop and the arrest. At that hearing, the Court determined that the State’s only witness testified to the county but not the city. As a result of this, the State failed to prove that the Windemere Police Officer had jurisdiction to stop the Defendant. After winning the motion to suppress, the State subsequently dismissed the charges.

In this case, an officer from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission observed a vessel exceeding the speed limit in a slow speed zone.

Case #: 23CT****8 – DUI Reduced

Charge: DUI

DUI

FHP responded to a crash involving two drivers suspected of DUI and both drivers were later charged with DUI. FHP completed the crash investigation and determined that the other driver that struck our client was at fault. Another Trooper arrived to take over the DUI investigation and he allegedly smelled the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from our client’s breath. The Trooper stated that our client appeared uneasy on his feet and stumbled. His eyes were red, watery, glossy, and bloodshot. After he completed field sobriety exercises, our client was arrested for DUI. He blew .043 and refused to provide urine. He also admitted to taking Xanax earlier. Our client did not look great on video, but the written report seemed overexaggerated compared to the video. With that discrepancy and other weaknesses in the State's case, we negotiated an acceptable agreement for our client. We closed his case to Reckless Driving, no points, and no license suspension.
