FELONY AGGRAVATED DUI (.220 BAC) REDUCED to a misdemeanor DUI – State v. Mr. A. (DMC No. 4832) (Maricopa County Superior Court A989712/Glendale City Court TR2004-017131): Mr. A. was pulled over by police and told that his license was suspended. He thought his license was cleared when he submitted his “SR22” proof of insurance to the DMV. He was ultimately put through field tests and provided a hand held breath test which revealed a .220 BAC. After that he was booked into jail and we became involved. We were able to show the prosecutor that there was no true knowledge of his license suspension. They agreed to turn down AGGRAVATED DUI charges and rerouted the case for misdemeanor prosecution with the City of Glendale. Mr. A. was originally facing 4 months minimum in prison, up to 3.75 years maximum.
