Gainesville DUI Charge Reduced
A University of Florida officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for driving with two flat tires. After the officer made contact with the driver, the officer stated that he noticed odor of alcohol coming from the driver, along with slurred speech. The driver ultimately admitted to drinking alcohol. The officer asked the driver to perform field sobriety exercises, which the officer reported the driver performed unsatisfactorily. The driver was then transported to the Alachua County Jail to provide a breath sample, which the driver refused to provide.
The driver hired Meldon Law. The attorney reviewed all the reports and videos in the case. The DUI attorney was then able to negotiate a resolution that resulted in the DUI charge being reduced to a reckless driving offense by pointing out potential defense and evidentiary issues. Additionally, the attorney was able to further negotiate a withhold of adjudication so there was no formal conviction of an offense.
