DUI REDUCED TO RECKLESS DRIVING (OCTOBER 2008)
A 911 call was placed reporting that the defendant was passed out in his car and did not appear to be coherent. On arrival, police officers noted that defendant was passed out and there were approximately 15-20 beer cans spread throughout the vehicle. Defendant was unable to perform Field Sobriety Exercises and provided a breath sample more than twice the legal limit (.176). Stephen Higgins mitigated for defendant regarding the 911 call as well as the circumstances surrounding the arrest and was able to get the charge reduced. (Ref. No. 724078-X)
