Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Open Container of Alcohol

Location

Bexar County, CC2

Allegations

During a traffic stop for a wide turn, officers noticed an open container of alcohol in the vehicle and issued a citation. From the start, our client stated it belonged to a passenger. We obtained the police reports and video and pressed the state on whether they could prove our client had care, custody, or control of the container. The evidence did not tie the container to the driver, and we made clear we were ready to litigate that issue. The prosecution dismissed the open container charge.
