Not too long ago, the police found a driver slumped over behind the wheel of his car with the vehicle in gear. The young man was charged with underage OVI (operating a vehicle under the influence) amongst other offenses. With these charges, the young man faced up to 30 days in jail, license suspension, and significant fines. Due to his job in the oil industry, it was important for the man to maintain a clean record so he can continue to work. This is what brought him to Luftman, Heck & Associates.
Columbus criminal defense attorney Joseph Kunkel fought for the client and discovered that his Miranda rights were not read, making the statements he made during the initial stop inadmissible. Additionally, attorney Kunkel argued that the police could not prove the client was driving while under the influence, since they never saw him moving the vehicle. As such, operation could not be proven. As a result, the client’s OVI charge was dropped.
