OWI / Restricted Controlled Substance – Dane County (February 2025)

Result: Amended to Reckless Driving

Handled By: Attorney Corey Chirafisi

Summary: Police found the client walking away from a single-vehicle crash, disoriented and shoeless. After arrest, a blood test showed a detectable amount of Delta-9 THC—a strict-liability offense in Wisconsin. Attorney Chirafisi moved to suppress the continued detention for field-sobriety testing, arguing the officer lacked reasonable suspicion. Rather than litigate the motion, the State amended the OWI/RCS charge to Reckless Driving, sparing the client an automatic conviction.
