Charge Of First-Offense DUI Dismissed


The following actual case result achieved by Orange County DUI Attorney EJ Stopyro shows how a charge of DUI in Orange County can get dismissed.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department was called to check on a motorist who was slumped over the steering wheel of a parked car. When deputies arrived they found the client’s car parked on the street, parked at an angle to the curb so the back end stuck out. They found our client asleep in the driver’s seat of her car, which was parked a few houses away from her home. The police woke her up and found her to be disoriented and to smell strongly of alcohol. Her speech was heavily slurred and she said she was “going home”. She refused to take a blood or breath test and was charged with a DUI and with a refusal.
Our client contended that she drank at home and went to sit in her car over an hour before the police arrived. Mr. Stopyro conducted a thorough investigation of the scene and eventually discovered an independent witness who had driven through the neighborhood more than an hour before the police arrived and remembered seeing our client asleep in her car. When Mr. Stopyro presented the witness to the District Attorney, the DA dismissed all charges against our client. (Department H-2 of the Harbor Justice Center)
