DUI — NOT GUILTY AFTER TRIAL

Morton Grove police officer said the Defendant was committing an illegal lane usage and he stopped him. The officer said my client had an odor of alcohol on his breath and very nervous. Defendant took and failed all of the field sobriety tests that were offered to him by the police officer. The performance of the field sobriety tests were captured on the officer’s in-squad camera. The Defendant admitted to having a few drinks and was subsequently arrested for DUI. At the police department the Defendant admitted to smoking marijuana a couple of days earlier. Defendant was charged with driving under the combined influence of alcohol and cannabis. At trial, I convinced the judge that this officer did not have the training or experience to form an opinion that the defendant was under the influence of cannabis.
