The Anatomy of a Northern Kentucky DUI Arrest
The DUI process begins when a Northern Kentucky law enforcement officer spots a driver who has violated a traffic law or appears to be swerving or showing some other indication of intoxication. After pulling the driver over to the side of the road, the officer will look for outward signs that may indicate that the driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and the smell of alcohol are examples of what the officer may look for. The next step will be to ask the driver to perform one or more field sobriety tests, and depending upon the driver's performance on these the officer may make an DUI arrest. After the arrest, the driver will be asked to perform a breath test or blood test to determine his or her blood alcohol concentration. The final step would be charging the driver with DUI, and this is usually based the result the breath or blood test showed.
It is important to understand every step of the Northern Kentucky DUI process, as your attorney can use any errors or mistakes made during this process to your advantage in building your defense strategy. For example, an improperly administered breath test or an unlawful police stop may be grounds to alter the course of your case.

What is DUI (Driving Under the Influence)?
DUI is most often a misdemeanor offense in Kentucky and involves a driver operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance. To be considered “under the influence” under Kentucky drunk driving law, the driver must have a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater or must have physical/mental abilities that are impaired due to alcohol and/or drugs. To prove that a driver was operating a motor vehicle under the influence, law enforcement and the County Attorney will use performance on field sobriety tests and the outcome of a breathalyzer test or blood test that was administered after the driver’s arrest.
