Georgia’s Driving Under the Influence Laws are complex. Georgia DUI injury lawyer Shane Smith can sort through the intermingled laws that potentially create complications in a DUI case.
A 19-year-old Georgia woman was arrested after a police officer noticed she was stopped on the side of a highway. The officer spoke to the driver who claimed she had car trouble. The woman and her passenger were both wearing seat belts but a 3-year-old in the back seat was not properly restrained. When the driver was asked for ID she claimed she did not have any though her purse was near the front console. According to the police report it was believed that the driver was high on drugs.
The driver’s passenger attempted several stories and lies before confiding in the officer when a search revealed methamphetamine and a pipe. The driver had taken meth and then smoked marijuana to calm down. She had taken prescription Xanax earlier in the day. The child in the car was hers and she had driven while high.
