Extreme DUI in Peoria: Avoiding the 30 Days
An Extreme DUI (BAC .15+) conviction carries a mandatory 30-day jail sentence in Arizona. However, the Peoria Municipal Court is one of the jurisdictions that allows for Home Detention (Electronic Monitoring) as an alternative to physical jail time for eligible defendants. Our primary goal is to negotiate a plea agreement that qualifies you for this program, allowing you to serve all (or most) of your sentence from the comfort of your own home so you can continue to work and support your family.
The "Bell Road" Enforcement Zone
Peoria Police heavily patrol the Bell Road corridor. Stops here often involve "saturation patrols" funded by GOHS grants. These officers are under pressure to make arrests. This pressure can lead to rushed investigations. Did the officer observe you for the full 15-minute "deprivation period" before administering the breath test? If they cut that period short—even by a minute—the Intoxilyzer 8000 results can be invalidated due to the potential presence of mouth alcohol.
Challenging the Breathalyzer Calibration
We audit the maintenance logs for the specific breath testing device used in your arrest at the Peoria station. These machines are sensitive to radio frequency interference (RFI) from police radios. If we can show the device had error codes or calibration drift in the days surrounding your arrest, we can move to suppress the .15+ reading, potentially knocking the charge down to a Regular DUI or Reckless Driving.
Protecting Your Future
An Extreme DUI is a major mark on your record. It can affect security clearances, professional licenses, and insurance rates for years. We fight to minimize these long-term consequences by attacking the state's evidence at its source.
