Our client was stopped by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office for Speeding. Upon investigation, a Deputy made alleged observations that he believed were consistent with our client being under the influence of alcohol. After a series of Field Sobriety Exercises, our client was arrested and charged with Driving Under the Influence.
Upon a review of the case, our attorney noticed that the video did not match the report when it came to our client’s performance on the Field Sobriety Exercises. In fact, on video, our client did not look impaired. Our attorney filed a Motion to Suppress the evidence against our client for the DUI. Once the Motion was filed, our attorney, using the years of relationships and reputation cultivated in the County, suggested to the Prosecutor that they watch the video prior to a hearing on the Motion. Once the Prosecutor watched the video, they dismissed the DUI against our client.
