What is the name of your state? Arizona
My son was pulled over in Scottsdale, AZ in December, 2006. He was given a field sobriety test, a breathalizer test (which he was told registered extreme DUI), and was hand-cuffed and placed in the back of the patrol car, where he waited for someone to come and draw blood.
He was not given any type of paperwork, he did not have his license taken away, and he was permitted to leave. The officer said that he would receive something from the court in about 6 months, and if he didn't appear, there would be a warrant issued for his arrest.
It so frightened him that he hasn't had a drop to drink since. He just started a new job a few months ago, and he worries that this will jeapordize everything. He has had this hanging over his head for all of this time, and doesn't know what to expect.
Has anyone heard of anything like this? Would they actually issue a citation 6 months after a traffic stop?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can enlighten me.
