This week, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals has overturned a court decision that convicted a woman of a DUI after she allegedly smelled like alcohol.

According to officials the woman and her friends stopped at a gas station at 3:30 a.m. and the police officer said that he could smell the alcohol on the women as they walked past him. The woman then got back into the car and the officer arrested the woman as she sat behind the wheel.

The appellate court overturned the original decision to convict the woman with driving while intoxicated because the officer did not see the woman drive recklessly or seem intoxciated while in the store, she only smelled of alcohol.
