OUTCOME: Case Won

The Defendant was stopped by an M.D.P.D. officer for speeding at 1:55 A.M. on December 17 2014. A FHP officer was called to the scene to conduct a D.U.I. investigation as the Defendant was observed to ... have bloodshot watery eyes, slurred speech and an odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from her vehicle and from her breath. The officer asked the Defendant to step out of the vehicle. The Defendant was asked to perform the field sobriety exercises. The first exercise was the HGN test with the officer's pen in front of her eyes. The Trooper decided for safety reasons to then move the Defendant to a nearby gas station by placing her in the back of his police car and having another officer drive her car to the gas station to meet them. Once the rest of the roadside exercises were completed the Defendant was arrested for failing to perform properly. The Defendant agreed to give a breath test with the results of .184 and .187 being more than twice the .08 legal limit in Florida. The State attorney reviewed these facts and the case law and came to the conclusion that they may not be able to prove sufficient probable cause for the arrest before the Defendant was moved and therefore in combination of the Trooper's failure to appear on time the State dropped the charges on November 2, 2015.
