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.

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

The state must prove you were driving the car. You need to hire an attorney and interview the witness. This is a serious offense and requires 4 months in prison if convicted.

answered on Nov 25, 2011

Yes, the police need a warrant to get your blood after a breath refusal. However, if the officer allows you to consent to the blood prior to the warrant being issued then no warrant is necessary.
