SECOND DUI WITHIN 5 WEEKS DISMISSED! (JULY 2008)
Defendant was charged with a second DUI within five weeks of his first offense. In the first DUI, defendant was stopped for weaving, failed Field Sobriety Exercises, provided a breath sample of .054 and provided a urine sample which tested positive for narcotics. Five weeks later, defendant was stopped for speeding too fast and weaving within his lane. His breath sample was .000 for alcohol, but his urine tested positive for drugs. Stephen Higgins was able to negotiate with the state attorney to drop the second DUI charge based on the facts, keep the defendant out of jail and keep defendant from losing his license for five years.
