A:
much more info is needed.
make an appointment asap with a local criminal atty.
A Miranda warning is only necessary if they are going to question you.
a DUI is the same as DUI alcohol............
did they file for the other criminal violations? if so they would not be as concerned about a DUI misdemeanor......if they are going for a felony drug case.
since the court appoints a public defender, that is the person who should answer your questions. S/he will have all the info in front of them.
