Driver Fights DWI Charge With Obesity Defense

Jaimil Choudhry was arrested for driving while intoxicated after taking field sobriety tests which should not have been administered to him because he is obese, said Hampton attorney Andrew Cotrupi. Choudhry, 20, of 8 Grandview Terrace, North Hampton, was arrested on a class B misdemeanor count of DWI on April 18 by Officer Nicole Mercer. Police allege Choudhry, who is 5' 10” and weighs 230 pounds, was driving a 1997 Honda on Commerce Way while impaired by his consumption of alcoholic beverages.
