Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI) – NOT GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES AFTER TRIAL

The  South Barrington Police Department observed my client driving 20 mph in a 45 mph zone. His vehicle was veering over the fog line and almost struck the curb. The officer pulled my client’s vehicle over. The officer observed a very strong odor of alcohol on his breath, bloodshot and glassy eyes. When speaking, my client has slurred speech and had a difficult time forming sentences. Another officer arrived on the scene and they asked my client to perform field sobriety tests. My client took 2 tests.He took the walk and turn test and the finger to nose test. The officer indicated that a failed both of them. My client had a CDL (commercial driver’s license) so he could not afford to plead guilty of lose the case. We went to trial and it was a not guilty on all charges. Every single charge was a finding of  NOT GUILTY!
