DUI WITH .128/.122 BAL REDUCED AND CONVICTION AVOIDED – DUI

Our client was driving home and was stopped by Jacksonville Beach Police Dept. officer for allegedly “failing to use a turn signal.” As a result of her poor performance on field sobriety exercises, she was arrested and charged with a DUI. Her breath test results showed her breath alcohol level above the limit of .080. She was at .128/.122. Her encounter with the police was captured on the dashboard camera. After reviewing the video of her encounter, we filed a Motion to Suppress Evidence based on the fact that she did not commit a traffic offense. After discussing the motion with the Office of the State Attorney, the charges were reduced to reckless driving. Adjudication of guilt was withheld (no conviction)
