The police had received a call from an unknown driver indicating that a dark colored pickup truck was driving recklessly on Flamingo Road, and had nearly hit several vehicles. An officer arrived to the area and saw a dark colored pickup truck pulled along the side of the road. The officer approached, but could not see inside of the vehicle, so he opened the door. The Defendant was slumped over in the driver’s seat with the vehicle running. The officer noticed a very strong odor of alcohol coming from the Defendant’s mouth. The officer asked the Defendant to perform 3 roadside exercises, and the Defendant performed poorly on all 3. The Defendant agreed to submit to a breath test and blew nearly twice the legal limit. The attorney for the firm argued a motion to suppress the initial stop of the Defendant. The Court granted the motion and the case was dismissed.
