The police department was dispatched to a drunk driver complaint. When the officer got out to the location, he located the vehicle traveling north. The officer followed the vehicle where it failed to maintain a lane. After coming to a stop in the middle of the road for no reason, the Officer stopped the Defendant. He stated that he “had some beers” and a DUI unit was called. The DUI officer noticed that the driver was confused and could not get his vehicle turned off. His eyes were red and glassy and he was slurring his words. He smelled like alcohol and was shaky on his feet. He performed poorly on roadsides and was arrested. At the jail he blew a .122 and .121. The Firm negotiated with the State Attorney’s Office where the State ultimately agreed to dismiss the charges for Driving Under the Influence.
