Client stopped for speeding during evening rush hour traffic. Arresting officer notes client performs some field sobriety tests “satisfactorily” and fails others. Client is chewing ginger root for upset stomach at time of arrest following spicy meal. Defense presents medical records and expert testimony to explain that two (2) weeks prior to arrest client is hospitalized for chest pain, later diagnosed as gastro-esophogeal reflux disorder. Defense argues that .21 BAC intoxilyzer test result is inaccurate due to contamination by stomach alcohol from G.E.R.D. condition. Not guilty verdict following trial.
