Sample Case #4
WJ, after drinking at a party, mistakenly
turned into someone else's driveway and hit their fence.
The owner of the house came out and discovered WJ behind
the wheel of the Lincoln he had been driving. The owner
called the police and WJ was arrested for DUI. The charge
was filed in Oklahoma County District Court and his license
was ordered revoked based upon WJ's refusal of the test.
At the hearing for the revocation of his
license, our firm was successful in getting his license
restored. The wreck had occurred on private property and
on a driveway. The case law argument which we based on PP's
earlier case showed that the crime could not have been committed
WHERE the cop found him. A motion to dismiss the case in
Oklahoma County District Court was successful based upon
the same argument. WJ was ONLY convicted of being drunk
in public.
