DUI Charges Reduced to Reckless Driving Due to Lack of Probable Cause for The Arrest

April 2010

Case 6468-XEL – Judge McNeil

Charge: DUI

Result: NO CONVICTION FOR DUI

Defendant was stopped on Turkey Creek Road for speeding.  Defendant had bloodshot, watery eyes, slurred speech and an odor of alcohol on her breath.  She was unable to satisfactorily complete the Field Sobriety Test and was arrested.  She later provided breath samples of .102 and .100.  Despite evidence of impairment, Stephen Higgins argued lack of probable cause for the arrest and was able to get the charge amended to a Reckless Driving.
