Lexington, KY- A former defensive back for the Kentucky Wildcats was arrested and charged with drunk driving early Sunday morning.

Shomari G. Moore was spotted traveling at a high rate of speed around 1:30 a.m. on Alexandria Drive and Versailles Road with his headlights off. The officer who pulled Moore over stated that Moore’s breath smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech and was unsteady on his feet. A breathalyzer test revealed his blood alcohol content was .082, just over the legal limit, according to court documents.

When building a DUI defense, a Kansas drunk driving lawyer will often contest the results of a breathalyzer test, which can at times give an inaccurate reading if not properly calibrated.

Moore was arrested and charged with DUI and reckless driving, this was his first offense

In Kansas, a first DUI offense requires that the guilty person spends at least two days in jail with a maximum of six months. A DUI attorney can use their knowledge of the courts to prevent a person from getting the maximum sentence.

A DUI or DWI is considered a very serious charge that can affect an individual’s personal and professional lives. Those facing this charge must have an effective defense to have their penalties minimized and retain their driver’s license. The intoxicated driver can lessen the impact of this offense by hiring a DUI lawyer to represent them before a judge.
