Jun 19, 2024	Case: 22-16194-MM	Judge Hessinger
Facts:	Police boarded the defendant's boat for a safety inspection. They then noticed an odor of alcohol, slow movements, and bloodshot eyes. He then performed various field sobriety tests on the boat, such as the finger to nose, palm pat, hand coordination, and HGN (eye test). He was arrested for Boating Under the Influence and later refused a breath test. He was also charged with Second Refusal as he had a prior refusal and also a prior DUI that was reduced to reckless two years earlier.
Defense:	The firm announced ready for trial on both charges. We pointed out that on the body worn cameras, not one of the defendant's normal faculties were impaired. In addition, the officer administering the field sobriety tests was reading off an instructional card, while another officer was off to the side was demonstrating. This made them very confusing to follow. In addition, after the four field sobriety tests were done on the boat, the officer still wanted to do more on the dock. The defendant stated he had done enough. It was only then that he was arrested. We pointed out to the State this clearly showed the officer wasn't even sure whether to arrest him after the four exercises. The day before trial, the State Dropped the Boating Under the Influence (BUI) and the defendant received time served (i.e., no penalties) on the refusal charge. It should be noted, the firm got this defendant's last DUI Dropped as well.
Result:	The State dropped the DUI.
