Koin5.com has an interesting article this morning detailing how a Seattle Supersonic beat his DUI rap. A summary of the article follows:
A breathalyzer test result to be used as evidence that Seattle Supersonics star forward was driving drunk last fall was thrown out of court Monday.... %u201CWe still have the results of the field sobriety test,%u201D Donahoe said, as well as the statements of the officer who made the stop.... Lewis was charged Dec. 5 with drunken driving after he was stopped more than two months earlier while driving his BMW on eastbound I-90 between Seattle and Mercer Island.... When stopped, his eyes were watery and his speech slurred, according the report, and the car smelled of alcohol. The trooper who made the stop wrote in his report that when he asked Lewis how much he had had to drink, Lewis responded, %u201Conly one.%u201D A pair of breath alcohol tests reportedly showed that Lewis had a blood-alcohol level of .132 and .122 about an hour after he was stopped, according to charging papers.
...Driving while under the influence is a gross misdemeanor which brings a minimum of one day in jail, up to a $5,000 fine and a 90-day license suspension.
