New DUI Decision

In State v Baucum, the defendant was found in a car that was stopped in the middle of a road in January, 2007. When Deputy Jeffrey Mclis arrived to investigate, he found the defendant passed out in the driver's seat with keys in the ignition. He smelled or alcohol and urine. There was an empty vodka bottle on the floorboard. When the defendant was awoken, he began fighting. The defendant was convicted of DUI 4th offense and resisting arrest. The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the decision. The defendant claimed all his problems were caused by seizures and his father claimed to have left the vodka bottle.
