| Oct 23, 2007 | Case: 05-023919MM10A | Judge Diaz |
| Facts: | The defendant was parked on the sidewalk, with the keys in the ignition and the engine running. The officer stated that when he approached the car the defendant was eating. The officer observed an odor of alcohol and bloodshot eyes. Additionally, he was unsteady as he exited the car. He then told the officer that he was coming home from "hooters" and consumed a pitcher of beer. The defendant advised that he had a back injury and would try his best on the sobriety tests. He performed the eye test (HGN), and was arrested for DUI. This was his 3rd DUI. It would have been his 4th DUI, but the firm had his previous DUI dismissed. | |
| Result: | The State dropped the DUI on the morning of trial. | |
