Sep 12, 2024 Case: 24-CT-022237 Judge Musselman
Facts: The defendant was stopped for driving with her high beams on. Officers observed an odor of alcohol, slurred speech, glassy eyes, and an inability to keep her balance. She then performed the HGN (eye test), walk and turn, and one leg stand exercises. She was arrested for DUI and later refused a breath test. This was her Third DUI arrest and she was also charged with Second Refusal for refusing a breath test for the second time.
Defense: The arresting officer was in training while conducting the DUI investigation. While instructing the defendant on the roadside tests, she was reading off a card making it very confusing to follow. She was also blocking her body worn camera during the exercises because she was holding her notepad in front of it. Not one officer was taking notes at the scene, yet later on there were detailed reports which totally contradicted the videotapes. The police code for DUI is "Signal One." On tape, the field training officer can be heard saying, "all I care about is a Signal One for training." In addition, he can also be heard saying "she needs it for training." (i.e., the Signal One). It was obvious the defendant was the Guinea pig for a training day for this cop to learn how to do a DUI and make an arrest. The State Dropped the DUI and she received no penalties other than court costs. In addition, the State Dismissed the refusal charge.
Result: The State dropped the DUI.
