Clearwater Man Arrested for DUI After Traffic Accident

This week, just like many others suspected of DUI, a Clearwater man was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) stemming from a traffic crash. ABC Reports:

DUI 1st Offense; 355 13th Ave S; Male, 22, of Clearwater, Fl. was arrested following a traffic crash investigation at this location.

What does this tell you? If you want to avoid being arrested and eventually convicted of DUI you must follow all traffic laws and, naturally, getting in an accident. It’s not that the above man is necessarily doomed to be convicted of DUI, assuming he hires an established Florida DUI lawyer.

        The Simple Truth About Your Clearwater DUI Charge

        The truth about your Florida DUI charge is: It’s most likely beatable.

        You may be thinking, “How could this be?” Whether that may be because you failed a test or a number of sobriety tests such as the Walk and Turn (WAT), Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN), One Leg Stand. Or perhaps you failed a chemical test such as a breath, urine or blood test. And maybe even on top of that you had an open bottle of whiskey in your car and blatantly told police you were drunk. It’s understandable that some or all of these circumstances make it seem as if you are best suited to plead guilty, but that’s rarely actually the case. There are many ways an attorney can put the laws in your favor.

        Are you interested in fighting your Clearwater DUI charge? If so, we welcome you to contact us for a free consultation, either in person or by phone to go over the unique specifics of your case:

          Clearwater Women Charged With DUI Manslaughter

          Clearwater Women Charged With DUI Manslaughter for July crash turns herself in.

          CLEARWATER — A 28-year-old Clearwater woman is accused of driving drunk when she turned in front of a motorcyclist, causing an accident that killed the man in July, authorities said.

          The suspect, of Clearwater, was arrested Thursday and charged with driving under the influence (DUI) manslaughter.

          Free Consultation: 727-480-9675

          Toxicology tests revealed Smithson had a blood alcohol level of 0.15, nearly twice the limit at which a driver is presumed impaired in Florida, Clearwater police said.

          The victim, a 26 year-old man, of Pinellas Park, was pronounced dead at the scene of the July 10 accident on Missouri Avenue.

          According to Clearwater police, the suspect was headed south on Missouri when the suspect, who was northbound, turned in front of him.

          The suspect turned herself in at the Pinellas County Jail on Thursday. She was released Thursday night after posting bail. In addition to the manslaughter charge, she was cited for failure to yield to oncoming traffic when making a left turn; the least of here worries at this time.

          Because this was the woman’s first DUI charge AND she didn’t flee the scene of the accident she faces up to 15 years in prison behind bars. This time would be reduced with a guilty plea, but then again she may be able to beat the charge. Proving guilt in a DUI manslaughter case can be quite difficult because you must show beyond a reasonable doubt that the suspect was in fact driving the car AND he or she contributed to the cause of the accident. For those of you who think this sounds like a simple task for the prosecution, I assure you it’s not. As for the chemical test the above women failed, those results can also be brought into question. No DUI case, whether a death or serious injury occurred or not, is unbeatable.

          Are you facing DUI charges in Clearwater? If so, we can help you in more ways then one. We can start by contesting your license suspension (via license review hearing with the DHSMV) and also represent you in criminal court.
