I've had both a parent and a friend have similar incidents in Portland and both were able to get theirs thrown out with lawyers on stupid technicalities.
Yeah, you definitely want to talk a lawyer or public defendant still, I don't think anyone was suggesting that he shouldn't do that, but that Darren will definitely want to do the diversion program regardless.

AFAIK with the diversion program, you are only offered it once, and you want to do it because successfully completing it means you won't have that DUI on your record.
