California man fights DUI charge for driving under influence of caffeine

quote [ Attorney for Joseph Schawb, charged with driving under the influence of a drug when his blood test showed only caffeine, calls the charge unheard of ]

W T F?

I can't believe the county is attempting prosecution given the complete lack of any evidence.

They dropped the DUI charge four days after this story came out. He's being charged with one count reckless driving, which is probably what he should have been charged with to begin with. Although the penalty is less, and the threat of three strikes isn't there, so a plea deal is harder to leverage.
