For example, there was a traffic stop, field sobriety tests and a preliminary breath test (PBT), an arrest, and a subsequent breath test at the police station. Then, when you leave the police station you\u2019ll have all the documents reflecting that you\u2019re being charged with DUI.<\/p>\n<p>In other cases, it might not be so clear. Some confusion may arise when a blood sample was taken as opposed to a breath test. In most DUI cases in which a blood sample was obtained, no formal citation issued at the time of the arrest.\u00a0 The same is true if you have one or more prior DUI offenses. Another reason you may not have received a ticket is you blow super-drunk at the roadside. In any of these cases you won&#8217;t leave the station with a ticket or any other document indicating you got a DUI, and you may wonder if you are actually being charged. This is because the police and prosecutor are waiting for the results of the blood sample to know which level, if any, of DUI crime they can charge. If you were involved in a case like this, you might be left wondering when you should hire an attorney.<\/p>\n<h3>How long will it take for me to find out whether charges will be filed?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baronedefensefirm.com\/blog\/how-long-after-my-michigan-dui-arrest-will-i-actually-get-charged\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading How Long After My Michigan DUI Arrest Will I Actually Get Charged?\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In some drunk driving cases you will immediately know that charges are being filed.
