Jul 18, 2024	Case: 21-18001MU10A	Judge Diaz
Facts:	The defendant was involved in a crash with a police officer. The initial officers on the scene smelled an odor of alcohol as well as noticing unsteadiness on his feet. During the crash investigation the officer stated that the defendant's speech was slurred. The defendant was taken to a medical facility where a blood test was provided. The defendant's blood alcohol content was .109.
Defense:	Parks & Braxton took independent statements of the officers on scene. Each officer acknowledged that it was clear that the officer was at fault in the crash by failing to yield to the defendant who had the right of way. In addition, based on the severe nature of the crash, any observations regarding slurred speech and unsteadiness could have just as easily been a result of the accident as opposed to the consumption of alcohol. Recognizing the issues in the case, the prosecutor agreed to drop the DUI.
Result:	The State dropped the DUI.
