A police officer responded to a call from a manager of a restaurant that one if its customers, had driven away from the restaurant and was intoxicated. Upon locating seeing the car, the officer conducted a traffic stop. The officer noticed that the client had slurred speech, an odor of alcohol on his breath, and glassy and bloodshot eyes. While performing the roadside exercises, the officer noted the client was swaying, lost his balance and failed to complete the exercises as instructed. The Client was arrested and submitted a breath sample that was over twice the legal limit. The DUI was ultimately dropped after The Ticket Clinic worked out a reduced charge of Reckless Driving, which prevented the client from receiving criminal conviction for DUI and avoided the mandatory driver’s license suspension that occurs with a DUI conviction.
