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

The Des Plaines Police Department observed my screeching his tires, driving in the opposite lane of traffic going 80 mph in a 35 mph zone and going through a red light. All of this was captured on the officer’s in squad car camera. My client had slurred speech, bloodshot and glassy eyes. He admitted to drinking and then told the officer that “he wasn’t that drunk.” My client smelled of alcohol and was stumbling while walking. My client was arrested for DUI, reckless driving and numerous other traffic infractions. We went to trial. After vigorous cross-examination of the police officer, the judge found my client not guilty of DUI!
