The Client was discovered asleep behind the wheel of his vehicle at an intersection. The Officer that investigated the case believed the Client was impaired by alcohol and requested he submit to field sobriety exercises. The Client then performed poorly on the exercises and was arrested for DUI. Once arrested the Client gave a breath sample almost twice the legal limit. The Firm investigated the case and discovered that the Client was extremely cooperative with law enforcement, had a totally clean criminal history, and there was an argument with respect to whether a jury would agree that the Client was in actual physical control of his vehicle while he was asleep. Given those circumstances, the State agreed to dismiss the DUI.
