Deltona, FL DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

Yes, you can be charged with DUI, further when you failed to provide a sample of your blood or breath you are likely to be prosecuted for "refusal." You must be lawfully arrested in order to trigger the "implied consent" law which would require you to submit to chemical testing. You may have defenses to the DUI including the fact that you weren't driving, the prosecution has to demonstrate driving, frequently they proceed with circumstantial evidence which may, or may not, be persuasive to a jury.

Unfortunately, it really depends on what county you are in when you get a DUI.  In some counties they offer pre-trial diversion (“PTI”).  After a successful completion of PTI, the charge is dismissed by the state and you can potentially have your record sealed/expunged. Certain counties do not offer the PTI for first time DUI offense (such 12th judicial circuit in and for Sarasota, Manatee, and DeSoto).  In places like the 12th Circuit, a first time DUI conviction is considered a criminal traffic case and carries a Misdemeanor conviction.  A standard 1st time DUI is a Second Degree Misdemeanor. A DUI with property damage/personal injury is considered an enhanced DUI. They both, however, are considered criminal traffic and just because you have the enhancement it does not mean that one is criminal and one isn't (all things being equal and you not being entitled to PTI).  Additionally, if the damage or the personal injury is severe, the DUI can be filed as a Felony (the level is based on the severity of the injury).  In any event, if you plea No Contest or Guilty to a DUI then you will most likely have a criminal record. 

Not sure I understand your question. If you are asking if you have to resign from the Trust, my understanding is you are not disqualified from serving for a first DUI.
