If someone consumes more than the legal amount of alcohol and drives an automobile it may result in a DUI. Often times when you get pulled over and the arresting officer has reason to believe you have been drinking, the arresting officer will probably decide to conduct a field sobriety test. Though these sobriety tests are non-compulsory if you decide not to take the alcohol field sobriety test, the police officer will normally assume you’re driving while under the influence and arrest you. Field sobriety tests could include physical and harsh tests that some people could not pass when sober. These alcohol field sobriety tests may include turning after walking in a straight line, standing on one leg, putting a finger on the tip of your nose, counting fingers with thumb as well as more conventional apparatuses. If you have come under arrest for driving while drunk you should contact our Washington County DUI lawyers immediately.
If charged for driving under the influence in Washington County you have the right to an attorney. The arresting officer has the right to ask you targeted questions that will be held against you in court.

If you are arrested you will be brought to the police headquarters, finger printed, photographed and jailed and soon set free depending upon the police officer.
