My question involves criminal law for the state of: rhode island
in aug 2007 i was pulled over and upon the officer walking up to the car i had a panic attack, which i had quite often back then. the officer called for an ambulance and i was taken to the hosp. just last week( 7-2010) i was informed by a friend who looked on a website, that i had a pending charge. so i looked and it said DUI from 8-2007. apparently, the hosp. took a blood sample and i did have alcohol in my system, cause i remember i had a few beers that night before i was pulled over.
i was never arrested nor was i informed of anything by authorities. also, about a year after this happened, i moved out of state, for employment. i have a valid drivers license in my new state and i have been pulled over 3 times in 3 years for basic traffic violations, even though i haven't received a ticket, and never has a warrant come up.
my question is: i read something about a statue of limitations of 3 years for misdemeanors in RI. does this apply to me? also, would i have a good chance of beating this case seeing how long ago it was and the fact that i was never informed of the case, or of the blood they drew? any help would be appreciated.
