DWI Arrests Can Come From More Than Just Alcohol
We recently had a St. Louis area client who didn't understand why she was arrested for DWI when she had only had one glass of wine. She didn't realize that by mixing a drink with her legal painkillers she could severely impair her ability to operate a motor vehicle, and leave her open to DWI prosecution.
Just because your breath test results are under the .08 legal limit doesn't mean that you are immune from a DWI arrest. Driving while on prescription medicine like painkillers, particularly when mixed with alcohol, can be enough to be arrested and convicted of a crime.
Painkillers, Narcotics, Prescription Medication and More
More and more police departments throughout Missouri employ drug recognition experts on staff to assess drivers who demonstrate visual or cognitive impairment, and whose blood alcohol levels are either normal or below limit. They can take blood or urine tests to get a broader picture of what medications, legal or otherwise, you may have taken.
Challenging All Forms of Impairment Cases
If you are charged with a DWI you need a lawyer who understands how to attack these cases aggressively and has a clear understanding of the procedures that police are expected to follow.
Attorney Travis Noble doesn't just come from a law enforcement background; he was also a narcotics agent. Our office is ready to defend all kinds of DWI cases, including forms of impairment beyond alcohol. Attorney Noble can be an effective attorney in these cases because he has training in the effects of various kinds of painkillers and narcotics, and can aggressively attack testimony from arresting officers.
