NOT CHARGED | DUI – State v. Mr. W. (DMC No. 6731) (Phoenix PD DR2005-51205460): Mr. W. was parked off to the side of the road by a barricade when he was woken up by officers pounding on the door. The car was left running in order to run the air-conditioner. Mr. W. was pulled out of the car and arrested immediately, without field sobriety tests. He then passed out and was taken to the hospital, where a blood draw was obtained. Due to the fact that Mr. W. had diabetic issues, and his blood alcohol content was only a .066 (below the legal limit), after we contacted the prosecutor’s office they chose not to file any charges.
