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!

It is amazing how he is going to completely get away with this.
FIRST, I thought this case was being moved OUT OF Broward County (to be “fair”). If it was, how come this is written on BC letterhead?
So if they throw out the breathalyzer charge, then they have NO PROOF that he was even drunk.
When are they going to exclude the video?
(this is bull-crap)
Out of curiosity, is refusing a breathalyzer a felony in Florida? If so, that’s why it was dropped. Either way, what is the penalty for violating?
You lose your license for a period of time. Separate administrative penalty that is not part of the criminal proceedings.
Can the FAC send a letter to the prosecutor asking why and reminding them no one is above the law even the rich?
If anyone wants to contact the Assistant State Attorney prosecuting this:
Connor Boe, 3315 E Tamiami Trail, Suite 602, Naples, FL 34112
239-252-8470
It is interesting how there isn’t enough evidence to charge Book with refusing a breathalyzer yet they can tRump up charges against others based on nothing more than a bunch. Broward county has some really stupid LEOs and DAs down there.
I can tell by looking at the lengthy Notice of Intent to Participate in Discovery and the ridiculous Motion to Dismiss that Book’s bi-coastal lawyers are already working to invent technicalities that could be used to acquit him or to cause the case to be dropped. Money, connections, and courtroom experience sure do help to make a man appear virtuous, right?

Seems anyone that goes against the Books has something unfortunate happen to them…
Seems like Justice isn’t blind after all…this wasn’t just a DUI charge on someone committing a traffic infraction. This was a DUI involving person and property damage … an innocent party could have died that night.
