Sample Case #8

R.R., an Oklahoma City truck driver, drank WAY too much and ended up in an area of Oklahoma City where there are several large houses on very large lots. Lost, he turned onto what he thought was a street, but was a family's driveway which proceeded about 1/8 of a mile to the house and then A ROUND the house into their back yard. He could not find his way back to the street. The owner of the home called the police about this car driving around in his large backyard. When they arrived, he was stopped just as he was about to drive back onto the street from this driveway. At the Implied Consent hearing (the driver's license revocation hearing), all of this was brought out and recorded under Oath. Since we showed that the officer NEVER saw him drive on a city street, but only private property, the license WAS NOT revoked! When the D.A. read our transcript of this hearing, she dismissed the DUI.
