Our client was arrested and charged with DUI after he was stopped for striking the median and driving the wrong way into oncoming traffic. After stopping the vehicle, the officer observed no damage to the vehicle, but he noticed the driver had red eyes and slurred speech. His clothes were disheveled, and the officer believed the driver had urinated on himself. Our client refused to submit to field sobriety exercises and he refused breath. After reviewing the video, we filed a motion to suppress the stop and arrest. Prior to the hearing, the State amended the charge to Reckless Driving non-alcohol related. Our client accepted the offer, paid a $25 fine, no probation, and received no points.
