| Jan 3, 2012 | Case: 5970-XEM | Judge Ortiz |
| Facts: | The defendant's car was seen by a concerned citizen hitting several barricades and dragging one of them. Police were called and observed damaged barricades and water spouting out from a pipe in the pavement. Officers eventually made contact with the defendant at her house. They observed an odor of alcohol, staggering, and slurred speech. When officers went inside her house, they saw several shot glasses and an open bottle of tequila. She performed the roadside tests very poorly and was arrested for DUI. After her arrest, she blew a .180 and .181 in the breath machine. | |
| Defense: | On the morning of trial, the State could not place the defendant in actual physical control of her car and/or under the influence at the time of the crash. | |
| Result: | The DUI was Dismissed. | |
