The Client was stopped by law enforcement because he passed the stop bar on a red light and came close to striking the officer’s patrol car. The Client then admitted that he was drunk and that he took various controlled substances regularly. He performed poorly on the field sobriety exercises and was arrested for DUI. Once at the jail he provided a breath sample that was more than twice the legal limit. The Firm spoke with the State about the case and pointed out that the stop of the Defendant’s vehicle seemed suspicious and the Defendant did have an otherwise clean criminal record. The State then agreed to dismiss the DUI charge before trial.
