SUPER EXTREME DUI (.213 BAC) REDUCED to REGULAR DUI with 10 DAYS in JAIL – State v. Mr. D. (DMC No. 5586) (Paradise Valley City Court 25133): Mr. D. was observed at Scottsdale Road and Lincoln Drive in Paradise Valley, Arizona sitting at a green left turn arrow. After he turned, he was allegedly clocked by the officer doing a 55 in a 40 mph zone. After he was pulled over, the officer then began a DUI investigation and transported Mr. D. to the police station. While Mr. D. was there, he asked to call our office and we spoke with him. He eventually provided a blood test which revealed a .213 BAC. Because Mr. D. had been interviewed at the station without being read his Miranda rights, we were able to convince the Prosecutor that all statements would be suppressed. The Prosecutor then agreed to reduce the Super Extreme DUI down to a regular DUI with 10 days in jail. A Super Extreme DUI would have mandated 45 days in jail.
