DUI REDUCED TO RECKLESS DRIVING (JANUARY 2009)
Defendant was stopped for speeding (45/30) in Tampa on Temple Terrace Highway. Upon contact, the officer noted a distinct odor of alcohol on defendant’s breath and asked defendant to perform field sobriety exercises which she failed. She later provided a breath sample of .152 and .150, almost twice the legal limit. After intense negotiations with the state attorney regarding problems with the evidence in the case, particularly the video surveillance, Tampa DUI defense lawyer Stephen Higgins was able to get the charge reduced to a Reckless Driving. (Ref. No. 5793-XEC)
