Montgomery County, Texas Breath Test DWI Trial - Dismissed After Jury Selection
A man charged with a Montgomery County DWI more than 2 years ago finally had his day in court. Houston DWI Lawyer Dane Johnson represented client in the DWI case. According to the deputy that arrested him, client was stopped for weaving, failed the field sobriety tests and blew a .10 on the breath test. In spite of this, client's case was dismissed in the middle of trial.
After the jury was selected and sworn, the Court proceeded with testimony regarding the initial stop of client. Montgomery County Sherriff Deputy testified that client was pulled over for weaving and failure to maintain a single lane of traffic. He even went on to say that he pulled client over because he suspected he was driving while intoxicated and to provide a wellfare check for client.
Unfortunately for the deputy, the Court ruled that the deputy did not have a valid reason for stopping client and clilent's motion to suppress was granted. The case was then dismissed.
