Miller, Judge.
The State charged Holly Johnson by citation in municipal court in May 2010 and then by accusation in the State Court of Cherokee County in November 2010 with driving under the influence of alcohol to the extent that she was a less safe driver (“DUI less safe” OCGA § 40-6-391 (a) (1)). On February 25, 2013, the trial court granted Johnson’s motion for discharge and acquittal based upon her constitutional right to a speedy trial.
