Q: I got a DUI in Kansas six years ago (2009) that requires interlock. Never got it put on. Can I get a license in Arizona?

Kansas DMV says license restricted with interlock required for one year. I live in AZ now. Can I walk into a DMV and get a license? Does AZ have Jurisdiction? What if I got caught driving in AZ without interlock. Would there be a penalty and would AZ have jurisdiction?

The likelihood, though not a guarantee, is that the State is awaiting the report to be submitted from the arresting officer "or" they are awaiting the results of the blood analysis. Depends on the court and prosecuting agency how it's handled.

Generally speaking, especially if a misdemeanor, you will not be taken into custody if you self surrender to the court. However, there are no guarantees and often, as with everything in the law,...

If you are charged with a felony it means you have been indicted and charges are moving forward. If you are only charged with a misdemeanor it means your case was most likely dismissed, but that it can be re-filed
