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

As you have already learned, yes, the officer can arrest you. However, the more important issue is now, can the prosecutor convict you. One of the three (3) elements of a drunk driving (OUI) charge is Operation, along with public way and .08% alcohol in the blood or impaired operation as the other two elements. The element of Operation is your issue as you describe your situation. There are cases that say that even an admission by the operator, without some corroborating evidence is insufficient to establish Operation beyond a reasonable doubt, the standard in a criminal case. I advise that you call me or another lawyer to discuss your case in more detail. It sounds like you have a very triable case. Make sure you get a good attorney. You only have one chance to get this right.

How can a person transfer DUI classes to another state without actually transferring the case?

The classes can be taken in another state so long as the program she wants to transfer to is similar in duration to the classes she is assigned to. Either on her own or with the assistance of her current probation officer she should look at the programs that the proposed state uses for 1st offense OUI classes. Get a brochure or something that details the classes as to duration and content and present that to her current probation officer. She will need approval of the court or probation to do this but it should not be a problem. I have had many clients that were charged in MA but did the 1st offender program in another state. She could also contact the lawyer who handled the OUI for her to assist. It shouldn't take more than a phone call or two by the lawyer to help her out.
