REDUCED | DUI (.056 BAC) REDUCED to OPEN CONTAINER and LITTERING TICKETS with ZERO DAYS in JAIL – State v. Mr. J. (DMC No. 6960) (Kingman/Cerbat Justice Court TR2006-08028/CR2007-0265): Mr. J. was seen in his vehicle travelling on the U.S. 90 at Mile Post 138 near Kingman, Arizona. He was seen all over the road and tossing a Coke can from his vehicle. When the officer made contact, he claimed he could smell an odor of alcohol and he began a DUI investigation. Eventually Mr. J. was given a blood test which revealed a .056 BAC. Because of Mr. J.’s age and his diabetes, combined with the low reading, we convinced the Prosecutor to dismiss the DUI charge in exchange for a simple Open Container and Littering ticket.
