Next the Police will test the blood sample. Depending on the alcohol level your son may face a driver's license suspension and criminal prosecution.

How old is your son and where was he stopped by police?

Re: Dui

Your son probably received a ticket with an appearance date. He must appear.

His driving privilege may be suspended in Colorado if his BAC is over .08. They will mail that information in about 20-30 days. If he gets a notice of revocation, then he needs to request a DMV hearing within 7 days (date noted on notice).

I would get an attorney to make sure everything is done right. It is possible that the BAC is high enough to charge, but that an attorney can get him a good deal, like a non-alcohol offense.

there is much to fight, if you want to
