OUI Drugs Charges Against Construction Worker Dismissed

The defendant is a construction worker living and working in suburban Boston. The prosecution alleged that on August 1, 2014 a Massachusetts State Police officer was clearing a motor vehicle stop In Quincy when a car being driven by the defendant approached him at a high rate of speed and nearly hit him and his cruiser. The officer followed the driver and observed erratic driving. He stopped the car and observed the defendant’s speech to be slurred. His eyes were bloodshot and glassy. The defendant was asked to get out of the car and to perform field sobriety tests. He did. He failed all of these tests. The officer then called another officer, a drug recognition expert to see if the defendant had been taking drugs. The DRE formed the opinion that he did and charges of OUI in violation of G.L. c. 90 Section 24 were filed. Today, prior to trial Attorney Neyman successfully moved to dismiss the OUI charges.
