On January 3, 2016 at approximately 2:09 am, a Hillsborough county Deputy responded to the vicinity of Golf and Sea Boulevard and Signet Drive, where she observed the Defendant’s black 2015 Chevrolet parked oriented northbound in the southbound lane of travel. The Deputy attempted to make contact with the Defendant, but he began to drive away northbound on Golf and Sea Boulevard. The Deputy then initiated a traffic stop on the Defendant’s vehicle. The Defendant exhibited multiple clues of impairment during the traffic stop. The Defendant refused to perform field sobriety exercises and breath test. The Defendant was arrested for DUI.
Results: The firm filed a motion to suppress the stop of the vehicle and on the day of the motion hearing, the State dropped the DUI charge.
