Duke Law Students Know Their ABC's

I represented a Duke Law Student who was charged with driving while impaired in Chapel Hill. When he was stopped by the policeman, during his routine evaluation of my clients alcohol consumption, asked if he knew his ABC's. This made my client very angry as he had previously told the officer that he was a Duke Law Student. He went on to explain that he was better educated than the officer or anyone in the officer's family, and then he refused to do any other tests or answer any more questions. The officer then got angry and then arrested him. I convinced the Judge that the officer arrested him prior to properly forming probable cause to arrest. The Judge suppressed all the evidence gathered after the arrest and the charges against my client were dismissed.
