REDUCED | DUI DRUGS (Cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana) REDUCED to DUI ALCOHOL – State v. Mr. E. (DMC No. 5045) (Maricopa County Juvenile Court JV538791): Mr. E. was stopped for allegedly rolling through a stop sign. Upon contact, the officers stated that he had smelled of alcohol. He admitted to drinking 1 beer, then they asked him about marijuana. When he admitted smoking, he was placed under arrest and a urine sample was taken, which showed cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana. Mr. E. was facing the loss of his license until he was 21, followed by another 1 year suspension due to the DUI drugs. We were able to keep the case in juvenile court, and he has no drug conviction on his record because we had the case reduced to an “alcohol” charge.
