DUI REDUCED TO RECKLESS DRIVING – NO CONVICTION FOR LEAVING THE SCENE
Defendant was arrested for DUI after fleeing the scene of an accident and returning to her home. Upon arrival, the Officer observed the defendant emerge from her house with slurred speech, glassy eyes and an odor of alcohol. Defendant refused to perform Field Sobriety Tests and refused to provide a breath sample. Pending a Motion to Suppress based on witness testimony and evidence in the police report, Stephen Higgins negotiated with the State Attorney to reduce the charge to Reckless Driving and withhold adjudication on the Leaving the Scene of an Accident charge.
