Charges Dropped in Fatal DUI

DUI charges were dropped in the case of a police officer who was involved in a car accident that killed two people due to a lack of evidence. Officer John Ardelean was first charged with a misdemeanor DUI, which became a felony. However, prosecutors state that the charges ended up dropped after the judge threw out key evidence in the case. The judge stated that there was no indication that he was intoxicated, as he was not given a Breathalyzer test until seven hours after the accident.
