OWI Amended to Reckless Driving
An employee from a local fast-food restaurant contacted the EMS and the Sun Prairie Police Department after locating her and a passenger asleep in the drive-through lane with the engine running. The client admitted to authorities that she consumed alcohol earlier in the evening and agreed to take a breath test, which produced a 0.08 test result. She was arrested and charged with OWI and PAC violations. Through negotiations with the prosecution, Attorney Verhoff was able to obtain a highly favorable outcome short of a trial. The prosecutor agreed to dismiss the PAC charge outright and amended the OWI to a reckless driving citation. The client, who was ecstatic with the end result, avoided the OWI/PAC conviction, a hefty fine, and a lengthy license revocation.
