Arlington Monroe Snohomish County DUI Drunk Driving Lawyer: DUI Questions / Answers

Arlington Monroe Snohomish County DUI Drunk Driving Lawyer: DUI Questions / Answers

Question: Can I get charged if I was at a party and blew a .67 but was not given a ticket?
Question Detail: I am 18 years old. I was at a very small party and everyone pretty much shut up and behaved when the cops showed up. Everyone was honest. I blew a .67 and gave my address, name and phone number. I was NOT given a ticket, nor told I was being charged with anything the only thing the cop said when I inquired as to consequences was, "An attorney will contact you and offer for you to take alcohol classes. If you take these classes, this will not go on your record." Sober now, his statement makes me wonder. I am an adult, wouldn't a criminal record be a criminal record whether I took classes or not? I am just wondering if he was only trying to scare us or if I'm going to get contacted.

 

Your question is tough to answer without knowing more facts.  However, I think you mean your BAC was 0.067 not 0.67 (you’d be dead).

The initial question that requires an answer is did law enforcement have a right to enter and search the premises.  If so, did they have a right to contact you?  More facts will help determine the strength or weakness of your case.

Additionally, every jurisdiction offers different plea deals so an agreement to do an alcohol awareness class in lieu of filing criminal charges may indeed be the way your jurisdiction deals with this type of issue.
