Driving or having physical control over a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol is charged as Driving Under the Influence or DUI in Greeley and Weld County. A woman is facing this crime, along with a few others after drunken night. According to the report, the woman was asleep in her car while it was running when police contacted her. She told them, “Jesus drank wine and so did I.” It apparently wasn’t the solid defense that she thought it was because she still ended up in handcuffs. She didn’t go down easy though, as she allegedly hit an officer in the arm twice and along with her DUI charges, she was charged with Assault on a Peace Officer and Resisting Arrest. She will definitely be needing a great DUI attorney.
Weld County DUI Attorney: Definition of Driving Under the Influence in Morgan County
The Weld, Morgan, and Logan County, Colorado law definition of Driving Under the Influence – C.R.S. 42-4-1301(1)(a) – is:
A person is charged with Driving Under the Influence or DUI if their blood alcohol content (BAC) is a .08 or higher. This is determined through a blood or breath test AFTER arrest. The portable breath test that some police officers will ask you to blow into is a voluntary test that you do not have to take. However, if an officer determines that there is probable cause for your arrest, then under the express consent law, you are required to give a blood or breath sample. If you refuse, you will automatically lose your license.
