On October 18, 2024 at approximately 3:40 PM, two Road Rangers discovered our client unconscious behind the wheel in the middle of I-95. After unsuccessfully attempting to wake him up, they called for Florida Highway Patrol and Paramedics to respond to the scene. Paramedics removed our client from the vehicle just before Troopers from Florida Highway Patrol arrived on the scene. The Troopers met our client at the hospital, where they conducted a DUI investigation which revealed that his breath alcohol level was .317, nearly 4 times the legal limit. The State Attorney’s Office charged him with Driving Under the Influence with a breath alcohol level over .150 and he was facing up to 270 days in jail if he was convicted. The Ticket Clinic attorney for Broward County filed a motion to suppress, arguing that our client’s arrest was unlawful because the Troopers never observed him driving or in actual physical control of his vehicle. On the day of the hearing on this motion, the State Attorney’s Office conceded that the arrest was unlawful and dismissed the entire case.
