The Defendant was stopped for driving without her headlights and running a stop sign at night. She smelled like alcohol and had slurred speech and bloodshot, glassy eyes. It was raining very hard and the Defendant stated she had about 3 beers. She was asked to exit her car and was wearing a Halloween costume and admitted to being at karaoke night. She did not want to do the roadsides in a dry area, but rather she said she would do them in the rain. She swayed while exiting her vehicle and performed poorly on roadsides. After being arrested, she refused to submit to a sample of her breath after about 10 minutes of trying to decide. The Firm filed a motion to suppress arguing that there was no probable cause for the arrest. Additionally, the Firm pointed out to the State Attorney that the stopping officer passed off the investigation to a backup officer because it would have been arrest number 100 for the year. The State of Florida decided to drop the charges for driving under the influence after this was all brought to their attention.

Facts: The Defendant took over 20 bags of mulch from Home Depot and loaded it in his truck according to a BOLO placed over dispatch.

The officer noticed an odor of alcohol and bloodshot eyes with slurred speech. He was read his rights and asked why he was stopped and he wasn’t sure why. He gave a story about a girl and sexual favors for money. When asked where that girl was, he didn’t know, and then said she was at the bar. According to the officer, the Defendant was obviously intoxicated. He stated he had 4 beers and was on Xanax. The Defendant performed poorly on roadsides and after being questioned regarding the incident at Home Depot, he said that he would be cut out of granmother’s will if he got in any trouble and began to cry. He was asked to submit to a sample of his breath and he refused. Additionally, he then complained of medical problems and was taken to the hospital where all tests appeared to be normal. The Firm filed a motion to suppress due to the fact that the audio of the roadsides had accidentally not been turned on by the arresting officer. The Firm asked the court to exclude all of the roadside exercises as a due process violation had occurred. Additionally, the Firm filed an additional motion to suppress arguing that based upon the performance of the roadsides captured on the video, there was no probable cause for an arrest and charge for DUI. The State of Florida reviewed the motion and dismissed the charges for DUI.

On Thanksgiving day, our client drove to his grand daughter's house. His Jaguar crashed into a truck that submerged in Payne's Prairie, with only it roof sticking out. The five wet occupants were unable to identify our client due to being transported to UF Shands hospital. Our client exhibited multiple indicators of impairment, performed FSEs, but refused the breath test. The Prosecutor attempted to get medical blood, but we blocked the subpoena.
