Client was charged with Assault and Battery, Obstructing, and Resisting Arrest.  Multiple witnesses claim that client hit a neighbor.  When cops came, client ran into his house and the cops followed him inside without permission to arrest him.  Since this was a misdemeanor offense and not a felony, Jason argued at a motion hearing that the arrest was illegal.  He argued that since the cops did not see the offense happen, they had to get a search warrant in order to enter his home.  Jason was right, and the charges were dismissed by the Judge.

Client was charged with Felony DUI, based on the fact that client had a previous DUI within the last 10 years.  The court records even showed that client had a previous DUI conviction a few years earlier.  Jason refused to even accept the court records as truth, without first investigating for himself.  Upon conducting extensive searches into archived records, Jason found that the court records contained a typo.  In fact, the previous charge was not a DUI, but was a DWI.  This minor distinction proved very important.  Jason correctly argued that a DWI is not the same as a DUI under Oklahoma law, and that the State could not use a DWI to make client current charge a felony.  The State was forced to amend the old records, and the felony charge was dismissed.

This is interesting for the Judges comments. Mr. Edge attacked the way in which the trooper administered the HGN (eye) test. The commented “Mr.Edge very skillfully, I believe, asked the question before bringing out the manual……..And I’m pretty sure that you were under the influence that night and DUI.
