I agree with Mr. Fleetwood. Why did he detain you? and why did he want a blood test? You did not mention that it was not unrelated to drugs, could there be an issue regarding substances going on?

Good luck

Yes, it sounds like law enforcement thought you might be under the influence and wanted you to do a blood test to detect possible drugs in your system. The law regarding forced blood draws is that, short of pumping your stomach, cops have a wide berth regarding forcably taking blood. Speak to a lawyer in or near your area .......... David Wallin
