The defendant pulled in front of a vehicle and was T-Boned. The accident caused injuries to the driver and passenger of the other vehicle. Even though our client’s car flipped over, she was uninjured. The officer who was first on the scene noticed an odor of alcohol on our client’s breath. He also noticed slurred speach and that she was sluggish. He requested that she go to the hospital for observation. Once at the hospital, another officer arrived to conduct the DUI investigation. She admitted to drinking and mixing with medication. The officer requested a sample of her blood and she consented. Her results were nearly 3 times the legal limit. Our firm filed motions to suppress statements, and the blood. On the day of the motions, both officers showed up to testify. At the end of the first officer’s testimony, the State dropped the DUI cahrge.
