The Defendant exhibited multiple clues of impairment during the traffic stop. The Defendant refused to perform field sobriety exercises and breath test. The Defendant was arrested for DUI.
Results: The firm filed a motion to suppress the stop of the vehicle and on the day of the motion hearing, the State dropped the DUI charge.
