The client was stopped for speeding and admitted to having a beer. He then was asked to step from his vehicle and perform field sobriety tests. The client did these absolutely perfect. He was not slurring his speech or stumbling. He was asked to take the PBT, which he did and blew a .08. Irrespective of his impeccable performance of the FST’s, Wendy Schiller-Nichols’ client was arrested for Operating While Intoxicated, first offense. Later at the police station, the client blew a .07 (and still was charged with an OWI). On the day that jury selection was to begin, Attorney Wendy Schiller-Nichols was able to obtain a Careless Driving for her client. The original offer by Meridian Township’s attorney was a Reckless Driving, which was not accepted. Instead, this case was resolved by pleading responsible to the civil infraction, Careless Driving and Speeding.
If you are charged with an Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), contact Attorney Wendy Schiller-Nichols for dedicated representation.
