No Drugs, No Booze, busted for DUI

Port Richey, Florida -- Joseph Errichiello is trying to walk a straight line but he is having trouble, just like he did when he was arrested for DUI on September 1^st.

Errichiello says they asked him if he'd been drinking again and he said no. He says they told him he was under arrest for suspicion of DUI.

Errichiello who was pulled over by the Florida Highway patrol in a DUI checkpoint failed all the field sobriety tests on his lack of coordination and the mental agility test.

Errichiello says he has had a learning disability that he's had since a kid.

The trooper didn't buy Errichiello's story and after he was arrested Errichiello who says he doesn't drink voluntarily took a breathalyzer test it came back 0.00.

He says they asked him if he would take a urine sample which would prove their case and he said he had nothing to hide so he said no problem.

Despite the fact that Errichiello blew 0.00 on the breathalyzer test and the Florida Highway Patrol confirms he had a 0.00 on the urinalysis the State Attorney's Office is still prosecuting him for DUI and he can't understand why.

Errichiello says that the system in Pasco is wrong because he did nothing wrong. Then he got arrested again. 12 days later the Pasco Sheriff's office pulled him over for the exact same thing

Once again the breathalyzer and urine analysis came back as 0.00. In the second case the state attorney is dropping the charges and says once it receives the paper on the urinalysis in the first case it will do the same.

But the incident is a sobering thought for the man whose mental and physical disabilities make it impossible for him to pass a field sobriety test even when he hasn't had a drink or ingested a drug.
