DUI REDUCED to Reckless Driving – State v. Mr. B. (DMC No. 7289) (West Mesa Justice Court No. TR2006-177490): Mr. B was seen stopped on the side of State Route 101 with a flat tire and his emergency lights on. The officer walked up and the engine was on, but the car was in park. Mr. B was in the car and he smelled of alcohol and was subsequently arrested for DUI. He then produced a .142 breath alcohol reading. We were able to have the case reduced to a mere Reckless Driving due to the fact that the State had problems proving Actual Physical Control and Corpus Delicti.
