The Client was stopped for failing to maintain a single lane by the officer who believed that the Client may have been impaired. Once stopped the Officer noticed that the Client seemed impaired and then had the Client complete roadside sobriety exercises. The Client did extremely poorly on the exercises and was then arrested for DUI. Once at the jail the Client provided a breath sample that was almost twice the legal limit. The Firm investigated the case and discovered that the Officer that stopped the Client was unable to be served but apparently still worked for the department. The Firm questioned the State Attorney’s office about this issue and sought the Officer for a deposition in the case. Once the Officer was again unavailable the State agreed to dismiss the DUI.
