Jonas’ client was charged with criminal Operating a Motor Vehicle While Intoxicated (OWI), Operating with a Prohibited Alcohol Concentration (PAC), Operating after Revocation (OAR) and Failure to Install an IID. Client was stopped by police while driving on a gravel road in a private campground. Each of the charges against the client required the State to allege (and prove) that the client had driven on a public road. Attorney Bednarek filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety, arguing that the gravel road in the campground was a private, not public road. The Court ultimately agreed. All charges against Jonas’ client were dismissed.
