Charge(s) – OUI
Result –Not Guilty
Client was stopped at a Sobriety Checkpoint. Based upon one of the troopers smelling alcohol, client was sent into a secondary screening area (Called the “Pit”). Once inside the Pit area the client was administered Field Sobriety tests. After the Field Sobriety tests the client was placed under arrest.
On cross-examination from Atty. Milligan, the trooper acknowledged that prior to the Field Sobriety Tests he did not think the client was OUI. The arrest was based merely on the performance on the tests. After some questioning on basic concepts about the tests, the trooper acknowledged that the client performed well on the tests and the client was acquitted.
