A Deputy came upon a vehicle that was parked in the median with the motor running. Upon approaching the vehicle, the deputy observed the driver passed out in the driver’s seat. The unconscious driver was transported to the hospital by ambulance. Believing that the driver was impaired by alcohol and was unable to consent to a breath test due to being unconscious, a forced blood draw was conducted to determine the driver’s blood alcohol level. Upon examination of the blood, it was determined that the driver had a blood alcohol level that was over twice the legal limit. The driver was then charged with Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol. After retaining The Ticket Clinic to defend her on the DUI charge, the DUI charge was dismissed and she avoided an additional license suspension.
