DUI Reduced to Reckless Driving in Sumner County

State v. J.H., June 17, 2009, General Sessions Court in Sumner County, Tennessee

Client was arrested for driving slowly and straddling the line of two lanes on I-65 near Hendersonville, Tennessee. The officer noted in the arrest warrant that his speech was slurred and his eyes appeared blood shot. As I always advise, my client refused the breath alcohol test, but did perform somewhat poorly on the field sobriety tests.

At court, negotiations began, and it was agreed that a plea deal could be in order if my client would submit to a drug screen. He did, and the results came back negative. Client pleaded guilty to the amended charge of Reckless Driving.
