The need for a criminal defense could land in anyone’s lap. False accusations have been known to happen, and some people may make mistakes that lead to criminal charges. Whatever the circumstances may be, accused parties have the right to create and present a criminal defense, especially when charged with drunk driving.

One man in Tennessee is undoubtedly hoping to create an effective defense after recently being taken into custody. Reports stated that the man had allegedly been driving a vehicle when it flipped multiple times. It was unclear what may have led up to the accident as details regarding the event were few in the report. It was mentioned that the incident occurred on Interstate 65 and that people had help get the driver out of the vehicle, which had landed on its side.

Police arrived at the scene, and they reportedly determined that the 22-year-old man was under the influence. It was unclear whether any field sobriety tests or other actions were carried out to come to this conclusion. Nonetheless, the man is currently facing charges for second offense DUI, driving without an interlock device and driving on a revoked license.

Because the man is apparently facing his second charge for drunk driving, the stakes may be a bit higher in terms of the consequences he could face if convicted in a Tennessee criminal court. As a result, he may feel even more compelled to create a meaningful defense to the charges brought against him. Fortunately, he has the right to obtain information and assistance regarding his case and legal options.
