One of three charges against Ron Book dropped
The prosecution has filed their Information against Ron Book in his DUI case.
Notably absent is one of the charges (refusing to submit to a breathalyzer), which the State Attorney chose not to bring because of “lack of evidence”.
In Florida, refusing to blow is a mandatory license suspension. Since refusing to submit to the test is pretty clear cut, what’s not clear is why the prosecutor felt there was lack of evidence.
In Florida, it’s better to be rich and guilty than poor and innocent!

Just curious. Can this be challenged?
By Whom? The Prosecutor decided not to bring that charge. The Defense is not going to challenge that.
My neighbor , the auto body repair guy went to bench trial on his DUI and the judge not convict, so the State had to settle for a “reckless driving’ conviction. He made a U turn informant fo somebody and got hit. BUT, he refused to take the breathalyzer. So he was found NOT guilty of DUI, but he still loses his license for a period of time for refusing to submit. Nice to be Ron Book, isn’t it?
How can such a ‘complicated’ piece of evidence be lacking? Either he blew the breathalyzer or he didn’t. This is not ‘rocket science’. What it is is a representation of the scum that money brings out in people. Follow the ‘money trail’ and we will find out who could not accept this simple bit of evidence. Any peon who tried this would find their license suspended just for starters.
I hope any time anyone goes to court for being charged with DUI and the court addresses the defendant with ” these are serious charges against you ” , I hope that defendant responds to the court with ” Oh, I don’t think they are serious at all. I will Ron Book these charges and go home in no time “.
What is it with prosecutors with the last name Fox that will not prosecute the rich and famous ??
