Florida High Patrol trooper was dispatched to the scene of a crash on I-75 south. Upon his arrival, he determined it was a single vehicle crash. He met with 1 witness who stated he saw the Defendant veer off the roadway where she struck a sign post with the front of her car. The trooper met with the Defendant who had a strong odor of alcoholic beverages on her breath. She also had bloodshot and watery eyes, slurred speech and was incoherent. She was unable to communicate any details about the crash. The Defendant was unable to stand for even short periods of time. When asked to stand while the trooper explained his presence at the scene, the Defendant stated, “she had to go to sleep” and then laid on the ground. The trooper had to assist her off the ground and placed her under arrest for DUI. An open container of alcohol was found inside the vehicle. While transporting the Defendant to the Central Breath Testing, the Defendant began screaming obsenities and demanding heart medicine which was supposed to be in her purse. A search of her purse revealed no medication. Upon arrival at the jail, the Defendant was unable to walk and had to be assisted into the building to central booking. The trooper requested a breath sample once inside the Central Breath Testing center. The Defendant was read Florida’s Implied Consent law and she refused to respond in any way. Her silence was treated as a refusal and she was booked for DUI. Results: the State attorney’s office dropped the DUI charge and the Judge dismissed the open container citation.

The defendant was stopped for traveling 60 mph in a 45 mph zone. It took the defendant almost ¾ of a mile before he pulled over his vehicle from the time the officer initiated his emergency lights. Upon making contact with the Defendant, the officer immediately noted the odor of an alcoholic beverage. The Defendant stated he was coming from Clearwater and on his way to Tampa. The officer also noticed that the Defendant’s eyes were bloodshot and watery and his speech was mumbled. The officer called for a DUI investigator based on his observations.

The Defendant swayed while he stood and continued to talk with a very thick tongue, creating a mumbled slur to his words. The Defendant agreed to perform field sobriety exercises, but alerted the officers to a torn ACL in his right knee. During the walk and turn test, the Defendant became uncooperative and requested to see the officer complete the exercise. When the officer refused, the Defendant said, “just take me to jail and arrest me for DUI.” The Defendant then agreed to perform the exercise after being advised that refusal to do the test could be held against him. The Defendant did not perform the test to the satisfaction of the officer. The Defendant also performed the finger to nose test, which also indicated impairment. The Defendant was placed under arrest for DUI. A search of his vehicle revealed a red cup stuffed between the passenger seat and center console. The cup had ice cubes and a liquid that smelled like vodka. An open bottle of vodka was also found on the floor in the back seat. Result: The DUI charge was dropped and the open container and speeding tickets were dismissed.

Using our relationships with the State Attorney's Office we were able to provide extensive mitigation that made it evident to the State that they could not prove this crime beyond a reasonable doubt. We were able to get all charges against our client dismissed. Case Closed!
Our client was involved in a parking lot traffic crash in the greater Orlando area. There were numerous people in a nearby bar / restaurant that witnessed the crash and alleged impairment. The officer asked our Client to perform roadside sobriety exercises – she refused and was arrested for DUI, second offense. The defendant was requested to submit to a breath test and a urine test. The client refused to submit to a breath test but did provide a urine sample. The Ticket Clinic attorney was able to capitalize on a few of the weaknesses in the case and filed a motion to suppress evidence. In speaking with the prosecutor before the motion to suppress was heard he agreed to drop theDUI charge.
A witness called 911 to report that our client was asleep, behind the wheel of a van, blocking the gated entrance to an apartment complex. The police responded to the scene and the officers ordered him to exit the vehicle – when he didn’t comply immediately they took him out of the vehicle and yanked him face first onto the ground. The officers then requested that the client perform roadside sobriety exercises – to which he refused. The officers arrested the client and charged him with DUI and resisting an officer without violence. The Ticket Clinic Attorney attempted unsuccessfully to negotiate with the prosecutor to get them to drop the case. The motion to suppress went forward and the judge found the detention was in violation of the Client’s 4th Amendment rights. Based upon the ruling from the judge the state was forced to drop both charges.
