A 28-year-old, male client (CDL holder) was cited with DUI (less safe), Open Container and Expired registration, after being found asleep in his vehicle that was partially blocking the roadway. According to the officer, my client could barely stand up and used the car to hold himself up. When asked whether he consumed any alcoholic beverage, my client responded, “You already know that, so why ask.” No breathalyzer, and no field sobriety tests were conducted. At court, the DUI was amended to Failure to Exercise Due Care, the expired registration was dismissed, and the open container was amended to a city ordinance. No probation. Case closed upon payment of fine.
