A minute gap in the audio portion of the videotape of the arrest of state Senator Randy Scott has led a judge to drop a DUI charge against the lawmaker.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reports that magistrate Phillip Newsome said yesterday state law requires a sworn statement explaining any problems with the videotape of a DUI arrest and authorities did not provide an explanation.
The Summerville Republican was set to stand trial when the ruling was issued.
Prosecutors say they will ask the judge to reconsider his ruling and likely appeal if he refuses.
