2 more OWI/PAC charges amended
The first case involved a client whose car was located in the ditch, running, with him sleeping behind the wheel. Client was contacted by police, had slurred speech, red, glassy eyes and smelled like alcohol.
Client was arrested for OWI and had a test result of .091. Client informed police that he had "alot to drink" the night before as the contact with him was at 5:30 a.m.
Corey Chirafisi reviewed the video of the incident and was able to file a motion which challenged the admissibility of the test result as there was a question as to the the time of operation. This has been happening more and more lately, the prosecutor didn't even want to have the motion hearing. She agreed to amend the charge to reckless driving. Happy client, case closed.
