DUI Continued

STATE v. EC-F

Result : DUI reduced to Reckless Driving

Defendant was pulled over for drifting in and out of his lane. It was immediately noticed that Defendant smelled of a strong odor of alcohol, had slurred speech, was delayed in his response to the Deputy, and had trouble getting out of the vehicle. Field Sobriety Exercises were performed in a very poor manner with Defendant falling out of starting position on the walk and turn, showing difficulty understanding instructions, and missing heel to toe on several steps. During the one leg stand, Defendant put his foot down three times and ultimately was stopped for safety reasons. Defendant missed his nose every time during the finger to nose exercise. After arriving at the jail after his DUI arrest, Defendant refused to perform the breath test. Tampa DUI lawyer Jason Mayberry recognized that his client had a language barrier during his own consult with the Defendant and relayed the issue to the Prosecutor. Mayberry also pointed out the barrier on the Police video. No effort was made by the arresting Deputy to call in a Spanish speaker to ensure clear communication. Based on the aforementioned Jason Mayberry earned a RECKLESS DRIVING reduction with no driver’s license suspension.

STATE v. LW

Result : DUI reduced to Reckless Driving

Client was pulled over weaving in and out of her lane, stopping beyond a stop bar and nearly hitting a center median. Client had bloodshot watery eyes and alcohol on her breath. Client was lost her balance during the walk and turn test and failed to touch heel to toe as she walked. Client swayed while performing the one leg stand and put her foot on the ground twice. After poor performance on field sobriety exercises, Client denied the breath test. Tampa DUI Attorney Jason Mayberry pointed out to the State that the driving pattern was easily explained as a person who was lost. The allegation of the failure to touch heel to toe was not evident from the video. In pointing out the weaknesses of the State’s case, Jason Mayberry received a RECKLESS DRIVING reduction for Client with minimum sanctions and no court imposed driver’s license loss.

Upon stopping Defendant, the Deputy smelled alcohol, noticed watery bloodshot eyes, and documented that Defendant couldn’t follow instructions for field sobriety exercises.
