I was arrested for DWI about 8 months ago...my license
hasn't been taken yet, and my lawyer is very good. The
reason I was arrested is because I was taking my
prescription medication and admitted that to the police
officer. I was released ROR, since this is my very first
offense. My lawyer tells me that the ADA is insisting on
DWAI, including fines and an alcohol class, even though I
don't drink. The baffling thing to me is this: I wasn't
given a phone call until arraignment, when I had to ask the
judge for a call, there was no matron all night while I was
in jail and no toilet paper given to me. The DA's forensic
analyst checked my blood levels the day of arrest and said
it was within the proper limits of my prescription. Why are
they still insisting on an alcohol class and taking my
license away? Is there anything I can do besides trial?
The money for that is overwhelming at the moment.
