For a Public Intoxication charge the officer is not required to administer a Breathalyzer test. they may rely on their own observations to determine probable cause for arrest, such as stumbling, slurred speech, or other acts. Of course, those observations are subject to scrutiny in court, and especially a jury trial, where your lawyer can ask about the lack of Breathalyzer use, but it is only one fact to be considered. I would be happy to speak with you concerning your arrest and set up a free phone consultation

The test at the scene is different than any taken later. It is possible that the second test could be higher than the first. This, however, is probably better news because it shows that you may not have been intoxicated at the time you were driving. Find an attorney as soon as possible.

In this day and age, with computer access being what it is, there is a very good chance that your probation officer is going to find out. The fact that you got a "drunk in public" while being on probation for a DUI leads me to believe that you have not yet learned anything, and perhaps you have a substance abuse issue.
