Wyoming DUI Case Dismissed by Intriguing Ruling
Chad Trebby thought that he had his man.
As the Gillette, Wyoming police officer watched a seemingly-drunk man stumble to his car, Trebby waited for the suspect to turn on his vehicle and drive away. Once the unnamed suspect did so, Trebby pulled him over on suspicion of DUI.

The following article not only imagines Trebby's dismay but examines the reasoning behind the judge's decison.
