He also appeared confused and had a blank/dazed stare. After performing various field sobriety tests such as HGN (eye test), walk and turn, and one leg stand, he was arrested for DUI. He later blew a .113 and .109 in the breath machine.

Result:	The State dropped the DUI.

Nov 22, 2024	Case: 24-CT-009411	Judge Gutman
Facts:	The defendant was the at fault driver in a sideswipe crash. When officers arrived, they noticed very slurred speech, unsteadiness, and she kept making moaning noises. There was no odor of alcohol, but they believed she was impaired by drugs. She performed very poorly on roadside tests and was arrested for DUI. She later refused a urine test.
Defense:	Under Florida law (i.e. the DUI statute: 316.1 93) to prove DUI, the State must prove one is impaired by either alcohol, a specific controlled and/or a chemical substance. One cannot just be impaired by something like a bad banana. Here, since there was no odor of alcohol, no alcohol found, no mention of drugs, and no urine test, the State could not prove by what was impairing her.
Result:	The DUI was dismissed.
