DWI Case | Plea Bargain

State v. SS, (Rockingham County-September 2009):

This 46-year-old was charged with Driving Under the Influence of Drugs or Liquor after being involved in a motor vehicle accident, performing poorly on Field Sobriety Tests, admitting to having consumed a “large” glass of red wine, and the officer’s observations that SS had spilled the wine on her shirt. We negotiated a plea bargain which resulted in the DWI being nol-prossed (dropped) in exchange for a plea to Negligent Operation with a $250 fine and no license loss. 

Result: Nolo Plea to Negligent Operation
