Client arrested for Dui 2nd on his way to work.

After a hard night of drinking, my client was arrested in Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee at approximately 7:00 a.m. on his way to work.  A traffic stop was initiated after my client was clocked traveling 68 mph in a 45 mph zone.  The officer noted a strong odor of alcohol, bloodshot watery eyes, and poor performance on the field tests.  Although my client had not drank in several hours, his blood test registered a .14%.

On the eve of trial, a Dui 1st offense plea was entered and my client avoided 45 days in jail.  Prior to this offer, the state was adament on a Dui 2nd Conviction. Case No. 07-120.
