Driving Under the Influence
Apr 29, 2010OUTCOME: Case Dismissed
An officer with the Las Vegas Police Department reported that he arrested our client for DUI because our client: (1) failed the nystagmus test (initial eye test); (2) had a "distinct odor of an alcohol ... ic beverage emitting from his person"; and (3) "demonstrated clues of impairment" during the roadside agility exercises. Although our client told the officer that he only had one beer to drink earlier in the evening, the officer nevertheless arrested him for DUI. Our client decided to take the breath test and blew .007 and .008 which is well below the legal limit of .08. The officer then requested the driver submit to a urine test. Our client agreed to take the urine test which came back 60 days later completely clean. After seeing the urine test and other evidence in the case, all charges were dropped.
