Our client was stopped after a Deputy witnessed him stop “beyond the stop bar” at two red lights and “appearing to fight with the wheel”. Upon making contact with our client, the Deputy noticed an alleged odor of an alcoholic beverage. Our client was asked to conduct Field Sobriety Exercises, and was placed under arrest for DUI after his performance. Our client provided a breath sample of .067, below the legal limit.
Upon reviewing the case, our attorney filed a Motion to Suppress Evidence against our client, to have a Judge deem the traffic stop and the request for Field Sobriety Exercises as invalid. When the State received the Motion, instead of having a hearing, the charges were dismissed completely against our client.
