Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI) – Not Guilty of DUI after Trial

My client was stopped by the Berwyn Police Department for traveling 37 MPH in a posted 25 MPH zone. She failed to pull over immediately and then struck the curb when she finally did pull to side of the road. The officer observed an odor of alcohol coming from her breath and glassy eyes. My client then admitted to the police officer that she consumed 4 alcoholic drinks at a bar prior to driving. The Defendant then submitted to field sobriety tests in which the officer indicated that she failed. The officer then administered a portable breath test in which my client blew a .087%. As this was above the legal limit and she failed the field sobriety tests, the officer arrested her for driving under the influence of alcohol. We went to trial because we knew we could beat this case. At trial, after intense cross-examination, the judge agreed that my client was not under the influence of alcohol. The judge found my client not guilty of DUI!
