State v. M.M., February 17, 2009

Charges: DUI 2nd, Driving on a Suspended License, Failure to Submit to Breath Test

On December 15, 2008, M.M. was pulled over for speeding – going 110 mph in a 70 mph zone. Officers reported he was unsteady on his feet, smelled of an alcoholic beverage, and could not perform any FSTs (field sobriety tests).

After intense negotiations with the prosecution, a plea agreement was reached that allowed M.M. to plead guilty to reckless driving and violation of the implied consent law. He is to serve 6 months on probation and do 24 hours community service. The DUI 2nd was dropped, as well was the Driving on a Suspended License charge.

Needless to say, M.M. was pleased with the outcome.
