DUI REDUCED TO RECKLESS DRIVING – NO CONVICTION (SEPTEMBER 2008)
Defendant was stopped for speeding and running a stop sign. Despite a decent performance of the field sobriety exercises, including the walk and turn and raised leg test, the officer placed defendant under arrest. At the jail, defendant refused to provide a breath sample. After months of negotiating with the state attorney Stephen Higgins was able to get the charge reduced from DUI to Reckless Driving without any conviction and keep the defendant’s drivers license from being suspended.
