State v. Ms. G.B. (2021)

Practice Area: Criminal Law / DUI

Date: January 19, 2021

Outcome: Reduced to Reckless Driving with No Jail Time

Description: Downtown Justice Court, State v. Ms. G.B.: Ms. G.B.’s boyfriend who was driving in front of her in a separate vehicle was pulled over by an unmarked white van and Ms. G.B. pulled over to ensure her boyfriend was okay. The Officer who pulled her boyfriend over was aggressive towards her prevented her from leaving the scene. She ended up being investigated herself for suspicion of DUI and she had a BAC of .089.   Castillo Law was able to show that the officer had illegally detained G.B. without any reasonable suspicion for doing so.   The prosecutor allowed Ms. G.B. to plead to a reduced charge of Reckless Driving with no jail time. This prevented Ms. G.B. from having a DUI conviction on her record.
