DUI/DWI lawyer at Kapsack & Bair, LLP
You should discuss this with your attorney, he/she can explain what is happening in your specific case. That being said, most crime labs only conduct "presumptive" analysis which means that your blood offered values that were presumptive of meth use. Your attorney has asked for a more specific value, sometimes legal drugs will provide values when testing for illicit drugs is performed. There is no "legal" limit for an illegal drug AND even legally prescribed dosages, taken in compliance with the prescription can result in DUI charges, Ambian is drug that has caused many DUI arrests, prosecutions and (unfortunately) convictions for unsuspecting (otherwise law abiding) citizens.

Would the break in that happened in the neighborhood constitute a probable cause to pull me over?

You were already pulled over. Are you still drunk? The police are allowed to question you IF you are pulled over in the night.

What happens after I received my first DUI?

Answered by attorney Steven Jed Alpers (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
Unless you request a hearing within 10 days, your license will be suspended and you will have to prove you have insurance after you sign up for the dui class. There is a 30 day suspension which is followed by a restriction if you are in the class and have insurance. You must go to dmv to give them proof. A minimum is 2 days jail, about $2,000 in fines and 3 years probation, obey all laws, don't drive unless licensed and insured, no measurable alcohol in your blood. Those are the basics if there are no defenses. Consult with a lawyer to see if you have any defenses.
