The Client was stopped because he was driving southbound in the northbound lanes on Interstate 95. Once stopped law enforcement observed evidence, such as the odor of alcohol and slurred speech, that indicated impairment. A DUI investigation was conducted and the Client was then arrested. Once at the jail the Client refused a breath sample. The Firm, once retained, discovered that the Client had no prior criminal history, there was no breath sample, and the Client’s inability to speak English could easily explain not only his driving pattern, but also his poor performance on the sobriety exercises. The State then agreed to dismiss the DUI charge.
