HIT AND RUN DISMISSED/EXTREME DUI (.169 BAC) REDUCED to regular DUI with 1 day in jail – State v. Ms. J. (DMC No. 9926) (Hassayampa Justice Court TR2010-150421): Ms. J. was accused of striking another vehicle at Dysart & the I-10. The area of the road way narrows where two lanes merged. She was subsequently pulled over and arrested for DUI. She provided a .169 BAC breath sample. We were able to convince the prosecutor that due to nerve damage in her right eye, combined with the narrowing of the road way of that particular area, the hit and run should be dismissed. It was ultimately dismissed, and her EXTREME DUI was reduced to a regular DUI with 1 day of jail time. She originally was facing 30 days in jail on that charge.
