Arrest on Washington Avenue Leads to Houston DWI Dismissal
Houston, Texas - After being arrested for DWI on Washington Avenue, a Houston woman's DWI was dismissed for "Insufficient Evidence".
Houston Police pulled client over for changing lanes without signaling. After smelling alcohol on her breath, the police asked her to perform field sobriety tests - she complied. The cops claimed that she failed the field sobriety tests and arrested her for DWI.
The Houston police gave her a free ride to the jail and asked her to give a breath test. She decided to exercise her right to refuse that breath test and they proceeded to book her into the Harris County Jail.
After she was released, client hired our firm to represent her on the DWI and ALR cases. We obtained a copy of the video tape from the night client was arrested. After showing the video to the prosecutor, the assitant district attorney determined that there was insufficient evidence to go forward on the DWI case and dismissed the charge.
