Officers alleged that our client was found asleep in the driver’s seat of a pickup truck in a roadway. Officers indicated that the pickup truck was in drive when they arrived. Our client indicated that he was not the driver of the vehicle but instead his friend, who owned the vehicle, went to walk to get gas as the truck ran out of gas. Officers disagreed and conducted a DUI investigation and ultimately arrested our client for DUI. We began working on the case and investigated what happened that night. We later listed the owner of the truck as a witness so he could testify at trial. We spoke with the State Attorney assigned to the case and told them we are going to set the case for a trial. We later set the case for trial. As trial approached, the State offered to dismiss the DUI charge. Our client appeared on the day of trial and the State dismissed the DUI charge as offered.
