On June 16, 2024, an officer from the Tallahassee Police Department was conducting traffic enforcement on the highway. The officer observed the Defendant traveling at 70 miles an hour in a 45 mile per hour zone. The officer initiated his lights and sirens and was able to make a controlled stop of the vehicle. The officer made contact with the driver and immediately noticed a strong odor of alcohol coming from the driver’s breath, his eyes were glassy, watery, and bloodshot and he also did not seem very coherent. After performing poorly on DUI roadside tasks, the Defendant was arrested and transported to the police department. The Defendant gave a blood alcohol sample of .146 and .139.
The attorneys for the Ticket Clinic were able to resolve this case with the Driving Under the Influence charges dismissed and a resolution to Reckless Driving with no adjudication of guilt or license suspension.
