(DMC No. 9846) (Gilbert City Court No. 2010-CT-0012114): Mr. B. was accused of driving 41 MPH in a 25 MPH zone and weaving. Upon contact, the Gilbert Police officer he smelled of alcohol. When he was taken down to the station, he was put in a private room and was given a phone and a phone book to call a lawyer if he wanted to. A lawyer from our office called him back, and the officers did not allow Mr. B. to immediately speak with our lawyer. After blood results came back a .151, we filed a motion for suppress for denial of right to counsel. Eventually the state agreed and dismissed all criminal charges.
