A bride’s dream wedding turned into a legal nightmare — after she claims she was charged with DUI despite being sober.

Brianna Longoria, from Fresno, had only tied the knot the day before she claims she was arrested for DUI by Phoenix police despite blowing a 0.00 — “triple zeros” — on a breath test.

She also and later testing negative for drugs and alcohol, according to a federal lawsuit.  

The bizarre bust happened Dec. 29, 2024, when Longoria was reportedly pulled over during a late-night drive in a rental car with her new husband in the passenger seat.

Cops initially claimed she ran a red light and had issues with the vehicle’s rear lights, but things quickly escalated into a DUI investigation.

In footage obtained by FOX26 through Sud & Pierce Law Firm, one of the officers admitted on bodycam footage they weren’t expecting an alcohol reading before administering the breathalyzer.

Moments later, the breathalyzer came back with “triple zeros.”

Despite the clean test, Longoria was handcuffed and arrested on suspicion of DUI.

“I do believe that you’re impaired,” an officer told her.

Police pointed to signs like “red eyes” and pupil size to justify the arrest.

After Longoria was taken into custody, one of the arrested officers was allegedly recorded saying: “They’re going to kick me off the squad if I don’t get a DUI.”

Longoria’s attorneys say the exchange raises serious concerns about pressure and unofficial quotas to make DUI arrests.

“This case arises from Phoenix Police Department officers’ disregard of established constitutional rules governing DUI stops and arrests,” the lawsuit states, alleging the officers made the arrest to “further their careers and follow the City’s inappropriate policy, practice, or custom of manufacturing DUI arrests.”

The DUI case ultimately fell apart, and prosecutors moved to dismiss the charges in April 2025, and a judge later tossed out her license suspension after authorities failed to present sufficient evidence.

But Longoria says the fallout on her “life has been forever changed by Defendants’ wrongful arrest and
prosecution of her.”

In her lawsuit filed in December of 2025 against the city of Phoenix and the officers involved, Longoria’s lawyers state that the ordeal caused delays on her cancer treatment, hurt her nursing studies, and saw her miss part of her honeymoon.

“If there is a word to describe this case, it is ‘fabricated,’ the lawsuit claims. “Defendants stopped Brianna as she was driving based upon a fabricated traffic infraction, field tested her based upon fabricated observations, and then jailed and prosecuted her based upon even more fabricated evidence.”

She is seeking damages, policy changes, and to have the arrest wiped from her record.
