Milton, FL DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

In SC, if you are referring to refusal to submit to breath and/or bodily fluid testing and the charge is plain DUI, then yes, the State can allege that you refused to submit to testing under certain conditions. These conditions are very highly contested in the legal arena right now and there are technical arguments in regards to a lot of them right now. You should consult in person with an attorney as soon as possible regarding these matters. I do hereby clearly advise against any reliance on the information as advice or application of it to a specific situation without a more thorough consultation with counsel.

Unless you are convicted Florida does not care where you live. ( Florida issues DUI citations to tourists all the time). You must be available for court but if you have an attorney some Judges allow the attorney to stand in for you until the actual trial. DUI is a serious charge and you really need an attorney. For a first time offense you probably will not receive a jail sentence but probation would require Kentucky agreement.

This is a very jurisdiction-specific and fact-specific question. Why was he on pretrial release at the time of his DUI? Where did this happen? Each county has its own procedures and criteria for pretrial release. If the original charge was alcohol-related (like another DUI), then it is not unlikely that they will hold him in jail until both charges are disposeed. Judges are just lawyers who didn't like practicing law. They do not want to be forced out of office by releasing some alleged drunk driver who can't stay sober and off the roads. On the other hand, if your bf was on pretrial release (ROR) for some relatively innocuous charge (say, shoplifting) there is a better chance that the court will grant him a bond. Especially since he has served a month already. Good luck.
