You can be charged with anything, but it wouldn't seem there would be any evidence for them to present against you if there was no sobriety test, no breath test and no blood test.

You probably won't be charged for the DUI but they stopped you for some reason and you'll probably get a citation for some kind of traffic violation.

Yes, but just because you are charged doesn't equal that you'll be convicted....
