Yes, it is possible to be given a citation for DUI with that fact pattern. Some officers would do that. It is an altogether different question as to whether or not you could be convicted of a DUI with that fact description. It is possible, but not likely, in my opinion. There are a lot of variables here that affect the outcome. If this is your case, don't plead guilty. Get a lawyer who is knowledgeable and experienced in DUI defense. Good Luck!!
