"Gulfport, Fla DUI Lawsuit"

A woman who was recently charged with a DUI has taken action and filed a lawsuit against city of Gulfport and the police officer who arrested her.

The woman claims she was accused of drunk driving after blowing a 0.0 twice on a breath test and passing a urine test.

Woman Aims to Prove Innocence

Paulette Bourke has reportedly been dining at the Backfin Blue before her and her sister were pulled over by the police.

Bourke claims she had taken two sips of wine at dinner, before giving the rest to her sister, Lynn Frevert, since she was driving them home.

According to court documents, Officer Joshua D. Stone pulled Bourke over for driving under the speed limit and making too wide of a turn.

Bourke was forced to perform a sobriety test, which made her “nervous” and Stone claims she failed the test.

Victim Files Lawsuit

When Bourke took a breathalyzer test and was submitted for a urine tests, reports showed she passed them all.

“Stone was not willing to accept the fact that the plaintiff was not intoxicated,” explains the lawsuit filed by Bourke.

However, two months after the arrest was made, and after the suit had been filed, all charges against Bourke were dropped.
