DUI News from Anacortes, Skagit County:
On February 21, 2010, an Anacortes officer stopped a car in the 1000 block of Commercial Avenue for speeding just after midnight. The driver, a 30-year-old Texas man, smelled strongly of intoxicants and said he was unaware how fast he was traveling. The man had bloodshot, watery eyes and allegedly admitted he had three beers. He allegedly failed field sobriety tests and was arrested on a charge of DUI. He refused to take a breath test at the station and was booked into jail.
A quick note about the story’s allegation about “failed field sobriety” tests. NHTSA never uses the word “fail.” Second, rarely are field sobriety tests done in accordance with NHTSA in the field. As a result performance on these tests is very much a subject of great debate.
