DUI REDUCED TO RECKLESS DRIVING (FEBRUARY 2009)
Defendant was observed to be passed out in the McDonald’s parking lot. Upon arrival, Hillsborough County deputies immediately assumed defendant was impaired. Defendant was somewhat uncooperative and refused to perform Field Sobriety Exercises and refused to provide a breath sample. Despite the video surveillance showing some signs of impairment as well as the reason the deputies arrived on the scene, Tampa DUI attorney Stephen Higgins was able to get the charge reduced to a Reckless Driving. (Ref. No. 8393-XCL)
