Client lost control of his vehicle and crashed into 4 parked cars. When the police arrived, our client said he was being chased and lost control. While talking with the officer, the officer noticed an odor of alcohol, slurred speech, and unsteadiness. He requested that our client perform field sobriety exercises and a breath test. Our client declined both.
Our firm argued that the State had no evidence since our client declined both requests to incriminate himself and the odor was from a case of beer that exploded in the accident. The State reluctantly dropped the DUI charge.
