25********* Monroe County

Officers stopped our client for weaving within his lane and speeding in Monroe County, FL. Officers noted our client was from out of the country and handed them an out of country driver’s license. They also noted what they believed to be signs of impairment to include the odor of alcohol and bloodshot water eyes. Officers also alleged our client admitted to consuming 3 drinks. Officers asked our client to get out of the car. While standing outside the car, officers said our client was swaying and unable to stay still. Our client agreed to perform field sobriety exercises when requested to do so by officers. Despite our client’s cooperation, officers placed him under arrest for DUI. Our client was transported to the jail where officers asked him to provide a breath sample. Our client again cooperated and provided 2 breath samples – .133 and .137. After persistent discussions with the prosecutor and despite being over the legal limit, the State agreed to dismiss the DUI charge.
