According to the police, the Defendant was traveling at a high rate of speed, and was eventually clocked doing 80mph in a 45mph zone. The officer attempted to pull him over, but the Defendant stopped, and then drove away again when the officer exited her vehicle. The officer caught up with the Defendant who eventually pulled over. Upon making contact with the Defendant, the officer noticed the odor of alcohol on his breath and dilated pupils. The Defendant also admitted to drinking at a party he had just left. The Defendant was arrested and provided a breath sample of almost twice the legal limit (.156 and .150). The attorney for the firm investigated the case and filed a motion to dismiss. On the day the motion was scheduled to be heard, the State dropped the DUI charges against the Defendant rather than argue the motion to dismiss.
