Case 3437-XDY, Judge Huey
Charge: 2nd DUI OFFENSE in 5 YEARS
Result: NO CONVICTION
Defendant was stopped for speeding 75 in a 60 MPH zone. Deputies smelled the odor of alcohol on defendant’s breath and requested that he perform field sobriety exercises, which he failed. Post Miranda, defendant admitted that he felt the effect of alcohol and that he should not have been driving. Despite this damaging evidence and a prior offense within 5 years, Stephen Higgins was able to get the charge amended to a Reckless Driving, saving client from jail and a 5 year driver’s license revocation.
