AGGRAVATED DUI (methamphetamine) – class 4 FELONY REDUCED to Misdemeanor DUI with 1 DAY in JAIL – State v. Mr. A. (DMC No. 5793) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2005-031868): Mr. A. was observed travelling 75 to 80 mph on State Route 87, when he weaved 3 times over the line during a 2 mile stretch. He subsequently was pulled over and found to have a suspended license. In addition, he was accused of smoking methamphetamine (due to a glass pipe being found in his possession). Due to the questionable nature of the stop, we were able to have the case reduced from a class 4 felony, which included a minimum of 4 months in prison, down to a mere 1st offense regular DUI with only 1 day in jail.
