Severance, CO DUI and DWAI Law Firms & Lawyers

They don't have to charge the headlight violation to be able to justify the stop based on it. Not the answer you wanted, but that is the law in Pennsylvania. They can also charge him with DUI based on observations even without a breathalyzer, but, depending on the observations, I agree that the fact that another officer let him go gives you a great defense. You only need to establish a reasonable doubt. Call a good Pennsylvania DUI lawyer.

Was there a blood test taken by the officer or just by the hospital for your treatment? I will presume the officer had blood drawn for his purposes as well.  If the accident did not result in any injuries to anyone else (other than you), then I do expect the charge of DUI will be added to your charges if it has not been already (there is just a small check box on most tickets that says a person is charged with DUI and people can miss that when looking at the ticket). If someone else was injured in the accident then there is a potential that much more serious (potentially felony) charges could be filed. You should definitely at least consult with a lawyer even if you decide not to ultimately hire one. A one hour paid consultation can provide you a lot of very useful information. 

You can certainly move back to Maine - but you must make sure that you are communicating with the courts in Colorado and return for all hearing dates. A DUI attorney should be able to help you with this process and ensure that you can do any requirements in Maine.
