The Defendant was stopped by the Manatee county Sheriff’s Officer for driving on her rim. She was ordered out of her vehicle and requested to perform field sobriety tests. The Defendant refused to do so without an attorney present. She was subsequently arrested on what the officer’s believed was probable cause. The Defendant was taken back to the Manatee County Jail in Port Manatee and refused a breath test. Upon review of the video Darren Finebloom convinced the State to reduce the DUI charge to reckless driving and got the Court to withhold adjudication as this was her first DUI offense.
