| Aug 10, 2026 | Case: AGLTYTE | Judge Gonzlaez-Cuervo |
| Facts: | The police stopped the defendant after a store owner called stating that the defendant was cursing at him and was causing a disturbance. When the officer stopped him, the defendant had jumped out the car and the officer immediately handcuffed him. Officers then noticed an odor of alcohol, mushed mouth/slurred speech, and watery eyes. He performed poorly on the field sobriety tests, which consisted of the HGN (eye test), walk and turn, and one leg stand. The defendant was arrested for DUI and later refused a breath test. | |
| Defense: | The firm filed a motion to suppress alleging that the traffic stop was unlawful. We provided case law to the State, that simply cursing at the store owner was not enough to stop the defendant. Also, there was no disorderly conduct because no one else was around. Also, we filed a motion to suppress alleging that the defendant was unlawfully arrested (a defacto arrest) when he was initially handcuffed. Prior to trial date, the State Dropped the DUI. | |
| Result: | The State dropped the DUI. | |
