Complete Trial Acquittal on DWI First Offense, Refusal to Submit to a Chemical Test, and Open Container

Not Guilty of DWI 1 & Possession of Controlled Substance at Trial

Our client faced three alcohol-related charges in Batesville: DWI First Offense, Refusal to Submit to a Chemical Test, and Open Container Containing Alcohol in a Motor Vehicle. We took the case to trial rather than accepting a conviction on any of the charges. On August 12, 2026, the case concluded with not-guilty verdicts on all three charges, allowing our client to avoid convictions on the DWI, refusal, and open-container allegations.
