DUI & DWI (.146 BAC) DISMISSED DUE to FAILURE of POLICE to PROVIDE INTERPRETER – State v. Mr. G (DMC No. 9626) (Eloy Justice Court TR2009-4745): Mr. G was seen on the I-10 freeway near milepost 212 by Eloy, Arizona traveling 70mph in a 55mph zone. He was subsequently pulled over and an odor of alcohol was detected by the Officer. Mr. G was a deaf male who spoke only American sign language. The Officer proceeded to arrest Mr. G and have him submit to a blood test which revealed a .146 BAC. He never secured a sign language interpreter to read Mr. G’s rights, or inform him of his legal options regarding the Field Tests and the Blood Test. We were able to file a Motion to Dismiss under Arizona Revised Statue § 12-242, and the case was dismissed in full
