The Client was found asleep in his vehicle while stopped at the intersection. Once the Officer began speaking with him he noticed that he seemed impaired by alcohol and noticed a bottle of vodka in the center cup holder. The Client admitted to drinking and also to taking some pain medication. The Officer had the Client perform field sobriety exercises and determined that the Client was DUI and arrested him. Once the Client was at the jail he refused to give a breath sample. The Firm investigated the case and determined that the Client had a long standing military career and had a mostly clean record with the exception of a prior DUI over 30 years ago. The Firm was able convince the State to dismiss the DUI charge as a result.
