The Client was pulled over after running a red light directly in front of a police officer. During the stop the police officer recognized several indicators of impairment and requested that the client perform roadside sobriety exercises. During the stop a second officer arrived on scene and an ‘off the record’ conversation took place between the two officers. The officers initially decided to let the client go home, but then changed their mind a short time later. The client was arrested and charged with DUI (2nd DUI outside of 5 years) and with second or subsequent refusal to submit. After investigating the case and sitting down with the prosecutor the Assistant State Attorney assigned to the case elected to dismiss the charges.
