Another Successful Defense in Baltimore County

Facts of the case:
The client was seen by local doctors the night before the DUI/DWI arrest for pneumonia.  The next morning, the client was called to pick up a family member that was about a mile from his home.  As he was returning from picking up the family member, the client began to feel light headed and lost consciousness.

The client was unable to control his vehicle and remembers blacking out and waking up after striking a number of cars.  The police arrived on the scene and found the client unable to stand and shaky from the accident.  The police conducted field sobriety tests and believed that the client was under the influence of either prescribed drugs or controlled dangerous substances (CDS).  The client was taken to the precinct and given a breath alcohol test.

The results of that tests resulted in a .00 blood alcohol content.  The client was then exposed to a DRE (Drug Recognition Evaluation), which is a battery of test performed by a police officer.  That officer is supposed to be able to determine what substances are affecting the individual.  It is not a science and many Courts have found that it is unreliable in Court hearings.  The client then gave a blood test.  The results of the blood test indicated that there was not enough of any substance to show he was affected.  The police did not know the results of the blood test at the time of charging and therefore charged him with TA 21-902 (a), (b), (c), and (d).

The Trial:
After a lengthy discussion with the Assistant State's Attorney, they were convinced that a prosecution against my client for any DUI or DWI charges would be unsuccessful.  The State agreed to drop all of the DUI and DWI charges.

The client was incredibly satisfied with the work we did for him and the result in the case.

Ravens' Kindle expected to plead guilty in Howard County DUI Case

Ravens' Kindle expected to plead guilty


Ravens linebacker Sergio Kindle is expected to plead guilty Tuesday to a drunk driving charge during a hearing in Howard County District Court.

Kindle, who missed what would have been his rookie season in 2010 after fracturing his skull when he fell down the steps at a friend's Texas home prior to training camp, was arrested shortly after 4 a.m. on Dec. 26 when police said they noticed Kindle's Cadillac driving erratically on Route 1 in Laurel.

According to charging documents, Kindle was clocked at 70 mph in a 55 mph zone, swerving between lanes and coming too close to cars in front of him. After his car was stopped at the entrance of Route 32, officers said they noticed that his eyes were glassy and his speech was slurred. Kindle said that he had "a couple of drinks" at a club in Washington, according to the documents.  Click to read more from the Baltimore Sun.
