What is the name of your state? Michigan
I am currently on probation for an Operating While Visibly Impaired. My friend picked me up earlier in the night. He began to drink, & spilled alcohol on my shirt. After awhile I requested to go home, so said he was able take me home. Before we left I made a letter stating that I in fact had not been drinking & we both signed and dated it. He happened to loose control on a dirt road while taking me home. The officer had asked me if I had been drinking, I said no. He then said that he could smell it on me and I still told him I had not been drinking. He acknowledged it & did not give me a PBT. The officer then asked me to find a ride. I found a ride and he let me go home. He was unaware that I was on probation. However, I am just curious that if he had "smelled" alcohol on me (even though it was caused by a spilled drink) & then found out I was on probation after he had let me leave the scene to go home, would he be able to charge me with violation of probation? Thank you for any help ..
