DUI Charge Avoided -- Reckless Driving Charge Dismissed
A Richmond man unexpectedly suffered an adverse reaction to medication taken after a night out with friends passed out while heading to the local market to buy a pack of cigarettes. He awoke in the hospital after crashing his car into a parked car and then a tree.
He was charged with Reckless Driving, a Class 1 misdemeanor, and was told by police to expect a DUI charge to follow pending the results of a laboratory analysis of his blood.
Prior to trial, Richmond criminal defense attorney Tony Stelly negotiated an agreement with the Commonwealth whereby the reckless driving charge would be dismissed upon completion of a defensive driving program.
The DUI charge was never brought, possibly because of an error in the transmission of the bloood sample.
Mr. Stelly regularly appears in the courts of the City of Richmond, Henrico County, Chesterfield County, Goochland County, and Hanover County.
