So I was arrested by a homicide detective saying I was driving the wrong way and that he thought I was dwi. Well, I was taken to the police station and the cop asked if i wanted a breath test. I said no. Then I was taken to the downtown jail and after awhile released. I was advised there that the dwi charged was reduced.
Well, my license was not taken on the spot, car was not towed, no bail. All of which is what happens for a dwi in my state.
Then a few days later, I get a notice saying the dwi misdemeanor charged was reduced, but I am charged with a dui city ordinance. Ok, so before I hire a lawyer, does this sound like it could be thrown out in court based on the detective who is not a dwi cop. Should I defend myself? Perhaps, the Prosecutor doesn't have much on me? Please advise, Thanks!
