OWI/PAC .09 - Charges Amended (Dane County)

2 more OWI/PAC charges amended.

Case #2: This client was stopped for speeding 81 in 55. When police made contact with him he had bloodshot eyes, admitted to drinking and had an odor of intoxicants coming from his breath. The officer stated that the client failed field sobriety tests and a chemical test of his breath showed a result of .09.

Corey Chirafisi was able to raise a couple of issues which, like the last case, led to an amendment without having to go through a hearing. The client had made statements regarding a blood test and the officer ignored that request. Second, the officer told the client he was under arrest for an OWI 2nd offense when in fact it was his 1st offense. So Corey had 2 motions, one for failure to provide an alternative test to the client and one for misinforming him regarding what the offense was when the police requested the breath test.

The prosecutor, without a hearing, offered an amendment. Another great outcome for the client.
