Our client was arrested and charged with DUI after he was stopped for running two stop signs in front of a deputy from the Sheriff’s Office. The deputy allegedly observed the driver to have glassy, blood shot, and watery eyes. He also allegedly smelled the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath. He noticed a yellow stain on his crotch area and the driver admitted to drinking five beers. The deputy conducted alternatives to standard field sobriety exercises because our client was an elderly man with medical limitations. The deputy determined his normal faculties were impaired and arrested him for DUI. He submitted to a breath test and blew .076 approximately 90 minutes after the stop. The client rejected all offers and we set his case for a motion to suppress. Ultimately, we closed his case to a dry reckless driving, no license suspension, and no points on his license.
