Motion to Suppress Allowed in OUI Case

On October 18, 2015 the defendant was driving his car on a quiet street just off of Route 114. A Danvers, Massachusetts police officer observed the defendant and another male outside of the vehicle. He approached and the two men got back into the car. They then made a three point turn with the front of the defendant’s vehicle partially entering the woods. The officer then passed the car at which time the driver (defendant) turned away, appearing nervous and leaving at a low rate of speed. The officer stopped the car, noticed that the defendant had been drinking and administered field sobriety tests. The defendant failed these tests. He was charged with OUI in violation of G.L. c. 90 Section 24. Attorney Neyman was hired. We filed a motion to suppress which was heard a couple of weeks ago. Today, a decision on the motion came out. The motion was allowed and all evidence seized after the stop is now excluded.
