Client was arrested for DUI after appearing to be asleep behind the wheel and erratic driving. There was an odor of marijuana in the car and the client admitted to using marijuana. The Client was given field sobriety tests and eventually arrested. His breath result was .000. The Florida Highway Patrol Trooper requested a urine sample that would take weeks to get a result.
The client was held without bond because he was on felony probation in another jurisdiction. He was facing a long sentence if convicted of any crime.
Attorney Fritsch met with the assigned Assistant State Attorney shortly after the arrest. After pointing out the weaknesses of their case the state nolle prossed (dismissed) the charge and decided not to file an information. This occurred very quickly and the client was able to get back to his life.
