The Client was stopped for driving his vehicle past the stop bar at a red light and for swerving his vehicle on the roadway. After the Client was stopped the Officer noticied an odor of alcohol and that the Client had difficulty giving the Officer his license and registration. The Officer requested the Client submit to roadside exercises, which the Client did poorly on. The Client was then arrested for DUI and gave a breath sample over the legal limit. The Firm discussed the case with the State Attorney’s Office, including the issues that the Client did not have a high breath sample, did not cause an accident or danger to others of any kind, and did not have a prior criminal background. The State was in agreement and dismissed the DUI charges.
