Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol, Second Offense; Plymouth District Court; Commonwealth v. M.M.; October 2, 2026

A Massachusetts State Trooper conducting traffic enforcement on Route 3 in Plymouth observed the Defendant traveling 90+ mph in a 65 mph zone. The Trooper conducted a motor vehicle stop and observed a strong odor of alcohol about the Defendant as well as bloodshot and glassy eyes and slurred speech. The Trooper thereafter ordered the Defendant out of the car and administered the Nine Step Walk and Turn and One Leg Stand Field Sobriety Tests. The Trooper reported that the Defendant failed to perform the filed sobriety tests, formed the opinion that the Defendant was under the influence of alcohol, and placed the Defendant under arrest. 

Notwithstanding all of the above, Attorney Ciraulo was able to rebut the opinion of the arresting officer, challenge the state of the evidence, and defeat the allegations against the Defendant. As such, the Commonwealth was unable to meet the heavy standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt and the Defendant was found Not Guilty after trial.
