The Client was stopped because he was having difficulties getting into the gate to an apartment complex. The Officer noticed that the client smelled of alcohol and that his speech was slurred. At this point the Officer reqeusted the Client conduct field sobriety exercises. The Client began to do the exercises, but half way through just said “I’m drunk.” The Client then refused to give a breath sample. The Firm discussed the case with the Assisntant State Attorney and asked the State to consider the Client’s lack of a prior record and the fact that he cooperated with the State’s investigation. The State agreed to dismiss the DUI charge.
