Our client was bar hopping in Arlington with another female friend. A young man was following them to each location that night. Eventually, that young man was kicked out of the bar but continued to wait outside for the girls. His behavior was worrying enough that another citizen called the police. When the girls left the bar at closing time, but before the police arrived, an altercation occurred. During that altercation, our client felt the need to get into her car to escape the situation. When the police arrived on scene they began investigating our client for DWI. Our client was visibly intoxicated. She failed every field sobriety test. After she was arrested, an analysis of her blood resulted in a blood alcohol content of .19. E.J. Odre and our newest attorney Rebeccah Tejada argued a necessity defense. A jury acquitted our client of Driving While Intoxicated with a BAC > 0.15.
