The defendant refused to do any roadside tests and was arrested for DUI. He later refused a breath test. This was the defendant's Third DUI.
Defense:	When officers finally located the defendant, he was sitting in the passenger seat of the damaged truck, the door was open, and the truck was off. The defendant had the keys in his pocket. Officers were on body worn camera trying to find the witness who saw him driving at the time of the crash, but could not find anyone who could ID him as the driver. In fact, on tape, officers can be heard stating that nobody can identify him. Since the State could not place him in actual physical control of the time of accident, as well as the fact that he was sitting in the passenger seat of a running truck, they Dropped the defendant's Third DUI.

Oct 15, 2024	Case: 22-009277MU10A	Judge Diaz
Facts:	The defendant was stopped for both running a red light as well as speeding. The defendant was pulled over in a bank parking lot. The officer asked for the defendant's driver's license and stated that the defendant provided a debit card instead. The officer stated he observed a strong odor of alcohol, bloodshot eyes as well as slurred speech. The officer asked the defendant to exit the vehicle in order to perform a series of field sobriety tests. By this time, a second officer arrived on scene to observe the investigation. The defendant performed the HGN (eye test), walk and turn, one leg stand as well as the finger to nose test. The defendant was arrested for DUI. At the breath facility the defendant initially agreed to perform the breath test, but later refused when the police would not allow her to contact a lawyer for advice.
Defense:	Prior to trial, Parks & Braxton took depositions of both officers that were on scene. While both agreed that the defendant had an odor of alcohol as well as slurred speech, their recollection of the defendant's performance on the field sobriety tests were completely inconsistent. The officers had no video at the scene, and the video at the breath alcohol testing facility was supposedly broken. Parks & Braxton then filed a motion to compel the repair order for the video camera. Next, Parks & Braxton filed a motion to suppress based on a lack of probable cause to arrest. At the motion, the officer admitted that some of his testimony was inconsistent with prior testimony that he gave in the deposition. After the motion, the DUI was dropped.
Result:	The State dropped the DUI.
