This is a close call that probably only a jury can decide. He needs to talk to an attorney immediately about this to see what can be done to fight these charges.
Dear Sir/Maam:
RE: your question, The only way to give an opinion on these facts would be after reading what the officer wrote in the A&B. If there are no allegations the passenger was driving, he would have a good chance of getting the case dismissed.
If he needs assistance in N. Florida, please give my office a call. I was initially an assistant State Attorney, then have been handling these types of cases for many years. Tom Rosenblum
