(Mesa Municipal Court No. 2007-000702): Mr. R. was stopped during a DUI Task Force for making a wide right turn. Upon contact, officers detected an odor of alcohol. They noted he was not wearing a shirt, was also wearing socks with no shoes. Mr. R. indicated he had been changing his clothes while driving. We were subsequently able to show that the Field Sobriety Tests were affected by his clothing (or lack thereof), and that his blood reading was low. We then convinced the prosecutor to dismiss all charges.
