The defendant was charged with DUI after officers witnessed him swerving and then colliding with a vehile parked at a stop light. The officer in the case alleged that the defendant did not do well on his field sobreity exercises, even though the video in the case showed the contrary. In addition, the Officer stated that the defendant allegedly refused a urine test to determine if he was under the influence of drugs. The firm, after winning the formal DMV hearing on the inconsistencies of the Officer’s statements, aruged to the State attorney assigned to the case, that there were simply too many inconsistencies with the Officer’s statements when compared to the video of the events. The State agreed and dropped the DUI charges. The defendant walked away with his license intact and valid and no convictions of any charges related to alcohol or drugs.
