The defendant was driving his vehicle in a business shopping plaza when an officer who was approaching to the north witnessed him pull out of the plaza without stopping and shoot all the way across the street. The officer cited the defendant with making an improper turn pursuant to Florida Statute 316.151. The defendant made a u-turn and the officer conducted a traffic stop. The officer ran the license of the defendant and it showed that he was charged with driving on a suspended license for a ten year DUI revocation. The State Attorneys Office was seeking 30 days in Palm Beach County Jail. The firm filed a motion to suppress arguing that the defendant was stopped in violation of the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution. The State agreed and dismissed the charges on the date of the motion to suppress.
