Georgia Appeals Court Denies Defendant’s Motions to Suppress in DUI Arrest
The Georgia Court of Appeals recently upheld a Cherokee County DUI conviction, rejecting a defendant’s attempt to suppress statements and blood test evidence. The man crashed into a gated entrance at his girlfriend’s apartment complex and later admitted to drinking and driving. His motions to suppress—claiming lack of Miranda warnings and involuntary consent to a blood-alcohol test—were both denied. The Court ruled that he wasn’t in custody when first questioned and had freely consented to testing, reinforcing how Georgia courts handle DUI suppression motions and evidence admissibility.
