DUI REDUCED TO RECKLESS DRIVING (OCTOBER 2008)
After blatantly running a red light directly in front of a deputy, defendant was stopped on suspicion of DUI. On video, defendant’s speech sounds warbly and he appears to be off balance while walking. He admitted to drinking 3-4 beers. Defendant refused to perform Field Sobriety Exercises and refused to provide a breath sample. Arguing to the state attorney that they had nothing to prove DUI, Stephen Higgins was able to get the charge reduced to Reckless Driving. (Ref. No. 8906-XCL)
