OUI, 1^st Offense
Resisting Arrest
Leaving the Scene of an Accident
Negligent Operation
Client was an all-around law-abiding guy who had too many drinks one evening. According to the police report client was operating his vehicle in the early morning hours when he drove off the roadway into another's costly shrubbery. While trying to extract his vehicle from the location, he struck an object that shattered his rear window. The homeowner chased the intoxicated client with a golf club while waiting for the police to arrive. While running from the neighbor, police arrived and chose to fire a taser into client's back which dropped him to the ground. Client was arrested and chose to participate in the breath test analysis which provided a reading of 2.0 which is close to three times the legal limit. Client had a dizzying night and wanted to attempt to mitigate permanent damage to his employment and criminal record, among other things. Attorney Barabino drafted an extensive background memorandum and memorandum of law for review for the District Attorney. In the end, an agreement was made, where client would receive the most lenient 1^st offense OUI disposition allowed by law, with an agreement that the charge be dismissed in a year. The leaving the scene charge also dismissed in a year if he complies with probation and finally, the resisting arrest charge and negligent operation were simply dismissed, entirely. Client was given the minimum license loss as well and can move forward with no criminal convictions eventually after the one-year period.
Result: OUI 1^st and Other Charges Resolved.
