The Client’s vehicle blew out its tire and lost control and crashed. Seconds later law enforcement was on the scene and observed the Client leaning against the vehicle. The Client admitted he was driving and lost control of the vehicle. The Officer requested the Client perform field sobriety exercises, which the Client performed poorly on. The Client was arrested and taken to the Breath Alcohol Testing facility where he blew over the legal limit. The Firm investigated the case and discovered that there was an issue as to whether or not the State could prove that the Client was in actual physical control of the vehicle absent the Client’s Statement, which could possibly be excluded. The State agreed and dismissed the DUI charge.
