Interesting.
So, you refused to submit to a breathalyzer test AND a blood test, right?
You've also learned something, you were arrested and jailed because of the trained officer's observation of your driving and other behaviors.
Evidently you bonded out, now plead not guilty, hire a lawyer, or ask the judge if you qualify for a taxpayer funded public defender.

If convicted your world will change.
Auto insurance rates will skyrocket, the state will demand harsh fines and penalties, and your driving privileges are at risk.

Who knows, had you submitted to testing you might not have been arrested if you we're below .08.

No chemical test is necessary in order to obtain a conviction for DUI/DWI.

You need an attorney.

I forgot that one, medical professional unable to obtain a specimen because subject combative, uncooperative, or veins collapsed.

That often means you were so inebriated that you couldn't blow.

As suggested, plead not guilty at your next court appearance, hire a lawyer, or ask if qualify for a taxpayer funded attorney.

From this point forward, it's best to discuss this ONLY with your lawyer.
