Our client was involved in a minor accident on a one way street. After clearing the crash investigation, Orlando Police Department Officers allowed our client to leave the scene. However, our client forgot to take photos for the insurance claim, so he attempted to get the Officers’ attention by putting on his hazard lights and slowly going the wrong way down the one-way road towards the Officers. The Officers did not like this, nor did they accept our client’s explanation of why he was doing this, so they conducted a traffic stop by ordering our client out of the vehicle. From there, Officers proceeded to conduct a DUI investigation, including Field Sobriety Exercises, which our client completed extraordinarily well, yet he was still arrested. Our client agreed to provide a breath sample, which came back below the legal limit, as well as to provide a urine sample.
Upon receiving the case, our attorneys immediately got to work. Based on our client’s performance on the Field Sobriety Exercises, our attorney filed a Motion to Suppress the evidence the State would be allowed to use against our client at trial. The day of the hearing on our Motion, the State dismissed the charges against our client.
