If the officer didn't see me drive can he arrest me for DUI?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
CAN he? Of course, he did, didn't he? When arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking the defendant is given documents that include a notice that you have only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of your license imposed by DMV upon your arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by the DMV, or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so, timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at the scheduled DMV appeal hearing and present any supporting evidence and testimony.

Is there a statute of Limitations?

David B Harrison
Answered by attorney David B Harrison (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Miller & Harrison, LLC
The "statute of limitations" is the time the prosecutor has to file charges - so it sounds like charges were filed, you plead guilty to something and didn't do everything you were supposed to. So it is not a 'statute of limitations' problem. There are two issues in Colorado - one whether there is a warrant outstanding for your arrest for not complying with the sentence (it may have been removed due to age of the case) and (2) if Colorado has put a 'hold' on your drivers license for failing to fully resolve the DUI case.  If Colorado has put a hold on your license, the only way to have it released, so you could get a valid license in another state, would be to check with the Colorado DMV and see what they need you to do in order to release the hold. It could invovle just paying money, or it could require that you prove completion of an alcohol program, maybe have an Interlock device for two years, etc. You can contact Colorado DMV or check your CO DMV driving record online if you like, or hire a lawyer to do that and advise you of what you need to do. I'd be happy to help if you like.

What would be I be charged with for a first time offence?

Answered by attorney Steven Joseph Pisani (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of Steven J. Pisani, LLC
I do not have all of the facts in your case, but it sounds like you will be charged with a DWAI and a defective tail lamp. The plea offer may be just to drop the defective tail lamp and plead guilty to the DWAI. A first time offense of DWAI typically carries with it 1 year of probation, alcohol classes, community services, court fines and costs.
