Derek Lowe's DUI charges dropped!

I blogged about Mr. Lowe’s arrest when it happened just last month. The most amazing part about Mr. Lowe’s ordeal is how quickly it resolved.

All charges were dropped.

I am not particularly surprised. The sketchy details that were first released omitted more information than gave. Now that more information has been released, I can see exactly why the charges were dropped.

First of all, the police said that Mr. Lowe was street racing, yet never charged anyone else with racing Mr. Lowe. A race needs two participants last I checked. When details did come out, they were in Mr. Lowes favor. The officer saw an Aston Martin and a Camaro speeding. Mr. Lowe drives a Porsche.

And despite the fact that the officer “detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage,” it couldn’t be proven, partly because Mr. Lowe refused to take a breath test. He did perform the field tests and did well on them -- which I certainly would expect of an athlete. Mr. Lowe’s defense attorney suggested that the officer may have confused the smell of alcohol with the smell of chewing tobacco. Well, that’s a thought. I know either smell on a person’s breath make me pull away!
