Facts:	The defendant was in the passenger seat of the motor vehicle as his wife was actually driving.

Prior to the defendant being taken to the hospital for his injuries, the officer noticed him to have an odor of alcohol, blood-shot eyes, and his speech not understandable. At the hospital, the officer requested the defendant provide a blood sample to which he complied. The lab results revealed his blood alcohol level was a .174. He was then charged by the State with DUI.
Defense:	Parks & Braxton pointed out to the State that the defendant could not have been in "actual physical control" of the motor vehicle as he was not only not in the driver's seat during the crash, but also had no access to the pedals in the car. Thus, he had no "capability" of truly operating the motor vehicle. Furthermore, we also pointed out to the State that the wife told police that the two were "arguing" in the car per the wife at the time of the crash and she was also investigated for being DUI.
Result:	The DUI was dismissed.
