Not Guilty MA OUI Charge

Police stop client’s vehicle after clocking him at 80 m.p.h. on a busy highway and allege that he failed to pull over in a timely manner, straddling the breakdown lane for an unusual amount of time before finally coming to a stop. Police note slurred speech, glazed and red eyes, and a strong odor of alcohol. Officer administers four field sobriety test and then places client under arrest. Subsequent search of the vehicle reveals five empty beer cans under the driver’s seat, including one open container cold to the touch. Defense challenges reliability of field sobriety tests performed on busy highway and that strong odor of alcohol indicates recent consumption, but not any particular level of impairment. Not Guilty verdict following trial.
