I was arrested for DUI/failure to maintain lane. What are my next steps?

Business 4 views 4 answers
After work on one day in Feb., I had two drinks at a restaurant. When I was headed home, my back tire blew out. I couldn't control my car. According to witnesses, the tire started smoking and blew right of underneath the car. We were on a bridge. I flipped the car. A witness helped me out. The police came. I had the sobriety/breathalyzer test. He arrested me but didn't send me to jail. Told me to say that I had an injury in order to avoid jail time. I did. They took my blood at the hospital. He took my license and told me court was on May 11 for DUI and Failure to Maintain Lane. However, when all my papers were given to me at discharge, the tickets weren't there. It is now April, I have my license- my court date is not in the system at the courthouse. What's my next move?

No citations and you still have your license? Do you know if there is an incident report? Unfortunately ignoring what happened will only make it worse and could result in a bench warrant. Do you know if your license is suspended?

Do not attempt this yourself. Hire a lawyer to do the snooping around on this situation. If you do it, you might just kick and awaken the sleeping dog. Better to let sleeping dogs lie.

Retain an attorney to help, your attorney will be able to find out by calling the officer. YOU SHOULD NOT CALL THE OFFICER YOURSELF.

Hire a lawyer to look into things. Don't do it yourself, or contact the officer on your own. Nothing good can come from that.
