The defendant was stopped by a Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputy for speeding (52 in a 30 mph zone) in Pompano Beach, Florida. The deputy made contact with the defendant and noticed that he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage, bloodshot and glassy eyes and had difficulty locating and producing his vehicle documentation. The defendant refused to participate in roadside sobriety exercises and refused the breath test despite being warned that refusal to do roadside exercises would result in his arrest and that refusal to submit to a breath test would result in a one year suspension of his driver’s license. On the day of trial, the firm filed a Motion to suppress based on an issue arising from one of our successful appeals on another client’s case. Upon reading the motion, the State dropped the DUI charges.
