Defendant was charged with first offense dui under Tennessee Dui law. The police pulled the defendant over after observing him traveling at a high rate of speed 65mph in a 50 mph zone and the defendant was observed passing a car in the turning lane while speeding. The police report further indicated that the defendant was slow to respond to emergency equipment, had bloodshot/red watery eyes, had an extreme odor of marijuana, and performed poorly on his field sobriety tests.
A plea agreement was reached to a reduced charge of reckless driving. The client avoided both a dui conviction and jail time. Case No. 06-038.
