Skip Sullivan, partner with Chestney & Sullivan Law Firm represented our client who was stopped by the Atlanta Police Department for striking another occupied vehicle while driving in Atlanta (knocked off the other driver’ side mirror). He was immediately placed in the back of the Atlanta Police patrol car. No field sobriety tests were performed. Our client was eventually read the Georgia Implied Consent Notice and agreed to take a breath test at the jail. The results were very high: .197/.202. Mr. Sullivan sent the case out of Atlanta Municipal Court to Fulton County State Court for a jury trial. He also filed motions attacking the admissibility of the breath test as well as a motion alleging a speedy trial violation. After two motions hearing dates, the prosecution could not meet their burden and the Fulton County State Court Judge granted Mr. Sullivan’s motion to dismiss.
