DUI REDUCED TO RECKLESS DRIVING – NO CONVICTION! (OCTOBER 2008)
At 17 years old, defendant was arrested for DUI after being observed speeding. Upon contact with the officer, defendant’s breath smelled like alcohol and she failed to adequately perform the field sobriety exercises. Defendant later provided a breath sample indicating impairment. Because of her age and the low level of a breath sample, Stephen Higgins was able to convince the state attorney to reduce the charge without any conviction so defendant can eventually get the case sealed/expunged from her record. (Ref. No. 3559-XCO)
