Can my charges be changed after my arraignment and before or during court in Berkely, WV?

Business 2 views 3 answers
I was arrested in Berkely,Wv for DUI first offense and that's what I was arraigned for but I have a few DUI in Md. The DUI in md can only be used against me if they are within 5 years however WV considers DUI from 10 years prior, the arresting officer didn't see them when he ran my information, I'm also assuming the magistrate judge didn't see them as I was only charged with 1st offense DUI (0.13)bac, can my charges be changed by the time all is said and done with court, does md keep record of and will they share my history prior to 5 years ago with WV? I'm not sure what to expect.

First of all, if your "DUI Attorney" was remotely knowledgeable of WV DUI law he or she would have told you that not only absolutely 'yes' can the state amend, dismiss, re-file the charge(s) at any point prior to trial but also that there is this thing called a criminal record, which upon running social will show each and every very conviction you've ever had. So, if you two in your past with arrest dates within ten years of your instant one than you face potential Felony dui third offense exposure. 2nd offense if only one prior so situated.
