OUI Against 20 Year Old Continued Without a Finding and No InPatient Treatment Even Though Breathalyzer Reading Over .20

This past Saturday the defendant, a twenty year old college student, drove his car off of the highway and into a gully where it got stuck. Fortunately no one was injured. Police officers arrived and met with the driver. They immediately observed him to have symptoms consistent with alcohol intoxication. He failed three field sobriety tests and was arrested, booked and charged with OUI. At the police station he took a breathalyzer test and blew a .19 and .21, two and a half times the legal limit. A statute in Massachusetts requires anyone under the age of twenty-one who blows a .20 or greater a two week inpatient program. Notwithstanding the statute, Attorney Neyman was able to get a continuance without a finding and no inpatient requirement. After the defendant successfully completes his probation the case will be dismissed.
