My question involves criminal law for the state of: PA
Hello , I was recently charged with a DUI. I was out at a local bar and drove home after drinking a couple glasses of wine. I got home and shortly after I hear loud Knocks at my door which was the police. They told me they received calls about my driving and swirving. I was really scared as I have never been in this situation before. No prior records and have never done anything like this before. I was swirving because I had to go to the bathroom so stupidly was rushing home. The cops came in I did admit to being out and drinking and driving home and the cop gave me sobriety tests in my living room I lost balance I admit but I don't have good balance to begin with and was terrified and nervous being my first time in a situation like this. I was taken to get a blood test and then to the police station. I got the paperwork in the mail and my BAC came back extremely high at .245. I admit to drinking and I didn't eat very much that day but I don't understand how it was that high as the BAC calculators would consider that near death and that I would be unaware of where I was or what I was doing. I have a extremely small garage and parked my SUV with no issues. Didn't hit anything. One of the cops went down and witnesses there was no damage to my car. I had 3 glasses of wine at the at and when I got home I was finishing a glass that I had poured. I went upstairs to change and that's when the cops showed up. So I was home about 15-20 mins. I remember driving home I remember what I did when I got home and remember answering all of the cops questions. Which the cop did confirm in the report. With a BAC that high I feel like I wouldn't remember the details of the night. I am very scared and very concerned and wanted to get an opinion on what options I have.
