BAC .10 reduced to reckless driving

A plea agreement of reckless driving was reached in a dui 1st offense offense case where the defendant registered .10 BAC.  This agreement was reached despite the fact the officer's arrest warrant was not very favorable to the defendant.  The defendant was stopped for speeding and the arresting noted a very strong odor of alcohol, red watery eyes, and very poor performance on the field tests.  In fact, the officer noted that the defendant admitted to drinking two large draft beers, lost his balance numerous times, stepped off line, and missed heel to toe.  Case no. 06-078.
