DUI (.146 BAC) DISMISSED due to DISCOVERY DELAY – State v. Mr. D. (DMC No. 6512) (Parker Justice Court/La Paz County Sherriff’s Office Complaint No. 27801): Mr. D. lived in California and was a recent graduate of the Police Academy. He was vacationing in Parker, Arizona. He had been drinking at his hotel with a friend and they drove to the store to pick up some items. The officer pulled Mr. D. over for an unknown reason, and had him perform field tests in his flip flops. He was arrested, submitted to a breath test which revealed a .146, and then requested to call an attorney. He was never given a phone or a phone book. Due to the issues with Denial of Right to Counsel, and No Reasonable Suspicion to Stop, we requested extensive Discovery from the officer. Due to the Discovery not being turned over in a timely manner, the Court dismissed all charges.
