Attorney Matthew Marin is pleased to announce the DISMISSAL of chemical test refusal charges pending against a client at the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal.  In the case, the Client had been followed by individuals who called 911 and reported her vehicle's purported erratic driving.  Once parked safely at a local store, the Police stopped the Client and ultimately arrested her for suspicion of driving under the influence.  At the Police Station, the Client refused to submit to a chemical test at the Police Officer's request and she was charged with refusal to submit to a chemical test (also known as breathalyzer refusal).  At trial, it was learned that paperwork pertaining to the investigation, charging of the case, and preliminary suspension of the Client's drivers license was mishandled.  Particularly, the Affidavit submitted by the Police Department as part of the preliminary license suspension process was defective.  After discussion and review of the recent relevant case law (RITT Appellate Panel Decision Town of Smithfield v. Sleiman), the Attorney General's Office was left with no choice but to DISMISS the charge of refusal to submit to a chemical test.
