Q: My boyfriend is a black male, arrested by a white officer for a DUI even though he blew a 0 on the breathalyzer.
My boyfriend asked several times to,be transported to a hospital for a blood test, but was denied. He was advised of a court date on Nov 14, but was called Nov 13 by his bondsman, who stated there was an arrest warrant for missing his court date. He immediately went to court in Nov 14 to inquire about the problem, was advised there was no warrant but was then promptly incarcerated. At 0215 this morning, an officer woke him up and handed him a warrant for his arrest. Is there anything I can do to help him?
A: This is a very convoluted fact situation and you should probably get in touch with a good criminal or DUI attorney. Ther eis really nothing that you could do other than help him get a good lawyer. Mistakes do happen in the criminal justice system but this sounds like there is something else going on that he may need some specialized help in beating. Good luck! www.JudgeCase.com
