Our client was arrested for DUI after a law enforcement officer watched him swerve off and back onto the road. After stopping our client, the law enforcement officer saw that a four year old and seven year old were in the car. After failing a field sobriety test, our client was arrested and the Department of Children and Families was contacted. The State charged our client with an enhanced DUI for exposing children to this danger. An enhanced DUI carries a more severe punishment than a DUI alone.
After hiring the law firm of Dunham & Ingram, Gainesville criminal defense attorney Andy Ingram prepared the case for trial. The morning of the trial, the State Attorney offered our client a substantially reduced charge in effort to avoid the trial with Attorney Ingram. Our client avoided any DUI conviction.
