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.

Case #: 2022CT2XXX
Charge: DUI
DUI
Our client was pulled over late in the for speeding. Port St. Lucie Police Department called a Drug Recognition Expert Officer to the scene to conduct a DUI investigation. The client was cooperative with all questions and the field sobriety exercises. However, the Drug Recognition Expert Officer thought otherwise and arrested for a DUI. He demanded a breath test which resulted in a breath sample of .050 and .051. The Drug Recognition Expert Officer requested a urine sample under the guise of Implied Consent. His urine sample came back positive for cocaine, cocaine metabolites, and cannabis metabolites. The client rejected all plea offers. We challenged the arrest with a motion to suppress the urine results but lost. The client then elected a trial. At trial, Attorney Jonathon Alford and Attorney Alyssa Grant successfully excluded the Expert Testimony Portion of the Officer in a motion in limine. The State also put on an FDLE Expert Toxicologist to show the effects of cocaine on the human body and mind.  At trial, though effective cross examination, Attorney Jonathon Alford was able to argue in closing that the client was following the law, and nothing in the initial DUI investigation lead the Expert Drug Recognition Officer to believe he was under the effects of cocaine and alcohol like the FDLE Expert Toxicologist explained. The jury came back in 35 minutes with a verdict of Not Guilty.

Case #: XXXXXXXX90
Charge: Driving with License Suspended
Traffic
Our Client was arrested and booked into the County Jail for driving while license suspended, a misdemeanor; however, the officer wrote the citation for driving while license was permanently revoked, a felony.  The officer then amended all the paperwork to match the citation, so everything alleged a felony.  Rather than being sent to circuit court, which has jurisdiction over felonies, everything was sent to county court, which only has jurisdiction over misdemeanors.  Knowing the county court had no jurisdiction to try our client, we set the case for trial.  Prior to being called up for trial, speedy trial expired, so the State could not amend the charge from a felony to a misdemeanor.  Since our Client's license was suspended, not permanently revoked, the State was forced to drop the case when we were called up for trial.
