OWI Charge dismissed allowing client to keep job and rehabilitate
Categories: Wendy M. Schiller-Nichols, Drunk-Driving, OWI
 

Wendy Schiller-Nichols obtained a dismissal for her client who was charged with Operating While Intoxicated. Her client blew a .16 on the Datamaster and performed terribly on the field sobriety tests. At a hearing last week, Ms. Schiller-Nichols argued before the District Court Judge that the officer lacked reasonable articulable suspicion to stop her client. The Judge agreed, and granted the Motion to Suppress. After winning a Motion to Suppress, the prosecutor is precluded from introducing any evidence following the stop. Therefore, the case was dismissed.
