The Defendant was observed at 4:45 a.m. reclining in the driver’s seat of his vehicle with the engine running. A police officer approached him and made contact. The Defendant exited the vehicle, where the officer noticed bloodshot eyes, flushed face, slurred speech and the strong smell of alcohol on his breath. The Defendant was asked to do roadside exercises but continued to yell that he wanted a lawyer repeatedly. The Defendant refused the breathalyzer. He was arrested for DUI. The Firm filed a motion to suppress the detention of the Defendant. On the day of the motion, the State dropped the DUI.
