Our client was stopped for careless driving and citations were issued.  Officers allowed the Defendant to drive away from the scene. As the Defendant exited the parking plaza, police officers heard a “crunch” and the Defendant’s car was the only car around.  They presumed that he had run into a building.  They again turned on their lights and initiated a 2^nd traffic stop.  This time, the odor of alcohol was noticed and the Defendant admitted to drinking and “being crossed”. He had a difficult time presenting his driver license to the police. After exiting the car and using the car for balance, roadside tasks were offered and performed on video.  Close to 8 officers from multiple cities were on scene observing.  The performance was poor according to the arresting officer and the Defendant was placed under arrest.  A breath test was offered and refused.  After 1 year of fighting with the State, Ticket Clinic lawyers the case was set for a jury trial.  On the 2^nd day of the trial, the Judge dismissed the case before even allowing the jury to consider a verdict. All accompanying citations were dismissed as well.
