OUI Alcohol
Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle
Client was a former gynecologist charged with an OUI and Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle. According to police, he was driving highly intoxicated and passed his car over the yellow line hitting another car head on, significantly injuring the vehicle’s occupants. After months of negotiations with the district attorney, an agreement was reached where client would go on probation for two years with an alcohol treatment program and no jail time. The victim of the incident was particularly decent and forgiving given her injuries that resulted from the accident. Because client’s blood alcohol content was especially high, he would also be required to enter a 24Q evaluation and additionally accept a 90-day loss of license.
RESULT: No Jail Time for Serious OUI Charge with Injuries.
