The citation and charges will not include the blown headlight as they have the DUI which is a much more serious charge, so they don't worry about the infraction on the charging document. If your son refused to do a breath or blood test, it is likely that they are also going to charge him with a refusal enhancement to increase the potential penalty. It can be helpful in defending the case if other officers pulled him over minutes earlier and let him go, but it is very unlikely that the charges will just get dismissed because of that, and as I mentioned earlier, refusing the breath test actually increases the potential penalties. He needs to have an experienced DUI attorney review and handle this case.

I would need to know more facts; however, the prosecutor can introduce into evidence the fact that you refused the tests. If the judge or jury hears that, how do you think they will interpret that? You say you were "super wasted". That may be enough (especially if there is a video) to have you convicted, even without the test results.
