Our client was stopped for failing to maintain her lane and speeding. During the officer's intial contact, our client denied drinking. Later, she allegedly conceded that she drank several highly alcohol beverages. The officer had our client submit to field sobriety tests, which he said that she failed miserably. Our client was then arrested for DUI and read the Implied Consent notice. At the jail, our client submitted to a breath test that produced a reading of .171.

Our client faced charges of DUI - Per Se, DUI - Less Safe, Speeding, Failure to Maintain Lane, Reckless Driving, Driving an Unregistered Vehicle, and Alteration of Tag. Prior to trial, we successfully excluded the breath test from evidence, so the state could not proceed on the DUI - Per Se charge. At trial, the judge directed a verdict of not guilty on the tag violations. After approximately 8 hours of deliberations, the jury found our client NOT GUILTY of the DUI-Less Safe and Failure to Maintain Lane. Our client paid a fine and left the courthouse with me. She suffered no license suspension, community service, DUI school, or other conditions.
