On the night of the incident, someone driving behind our client with access to police radio put out over the wire that he was swerving in his lane, crossing lanes, and almost crashed off the shoulder of the highway. Upon talking with our client, the responding officer claimed that he had slurred speech, watery and bloodshot eyes, had trouble getting out of the truck, and had the odor of alcohol on his breath. The client submitted to taking field sobriety tests, which he failed, and when arrived to jail he consented to a breathalyzer test, where he blew a .17. The charges were eventually lowered to Reckless Driving. For a more detailed explanation of this case, please link to our website.
