Client was involved in a rear end collision. When police arrived on scene, our client was outside of his vehicle with a second person. Upon the police arrival, this second person took off running. The police proceeded to ask our client what happened. He stated he was not driving. The officers began a DUI investigation due to the fact that our client owned the vehicle and they believed he was driving. He admitted he was drinking and did poorly during the investigation. He was arrested and charged with a 3rd DUI.
Our firm was prepared to argue that our client was not the driver. However, on the day of trial, the state dropped the charge.
