DUI REDUCED TO RECKLESS DRIVING – SECOND OFFENSE (OCTOBER 2008)
Officers arrived on the scene on suspicion of DUI because of an odor of alcohol on defendant’s breath and other indicia of impairment. During the walk and turn test, defendant did not touch heel to toe and during the finger to nose test, defendant failed to touch her nose. Despite, these facts, and the fact that she had a prior offense, Stephen Higgins was able to get the charge reduced to Reckless Driving and keep defendant driving throughout her entire case. (Ref. No. 0200-XCG)
