The defendant was driving on Oakland Park Boulevard when a deputy decided to run his license tag on teletype. The teletype indicated that the defendant’s license was suspended. The defendant had the odor of an alcoholic beverage, slurred speech, and bloodshot eyes and also admitted that he “had a few drinks at a friend’s house earlier”. The defendant was asked to do roadside sobriety exercises and did very poorly. The defendant submitted to the breath test which resulted in a reading of .188/.183 g/210L. The Firm filed a Motion to Suppress the stop of the defendant’s vehicle based on the fact that the teletype description did not match the description of our client. Prior to the hearing for the Motion to Suppress, the State dropped all charges.
