Aloha~
I am a 59 year old professional woman. Several days ago I was arrested for DUI. I had attended a work related party and did consume 1 1/2 glasses of wine. The first officer was going to let me have co-workers pick me up and take me home. By the time my friends arrived (10-15 minutes) two other officers were on the scene and the stopping officer had left.
After failing their field test they arrested me. I took a breathalizer test and was told that I failed that as well.
My question is how do I defend myself in court? Until this incident my drving record was completely clean. Should I plead guilty and ask for merciful consideration for keeping my license?
Thanks to anyone who is able to advise. I will lose my job if unable to drive.
