Cobb County DUI Breath Test .173: Reduced to Reckless Driving

Our client was charges with a Cobb County DUI after being stopped for failing to maintain his lane.  Marietta Police conducted an investigation for DUI where our client agreed to submit to field sobriety evaluations.  Our client was subsequently arrested for DUI and took the state breath rest with a result of .173.  The case began in Marietta Municipal Court, but the Marietta DUI charge was sent over to Cobb County State Court to preserve our client’s right to a jury trial.  Mr. Sullivan conducted a motions hearing to exclude the .173 breath test from being admissible at trial.  While the judge was deciding the motions, Mr. Sullivan was able to persuade the prosecutor that the test would be inadmissible at trial.  Subsequently, Mr. Sullivan negotiated with the prosecutor to dismiss the Cobb DUI charge and our client enter a plea to reckless driving.
