No field sobriety tests, or breathalyzer was taken
Hire a competent attorney now. TN has always held if you are capable of driving, whether you physically are or not, then DUI can be charged. If you had any intoxicants in your system, then what you did was a crime. But the State still has to prove it and without a chemical test, it will be a... Read more »
To my knowledge a DUI Conviction does not affect such employment. If you have some sort of License, and there is a complaint, you might have to deal with that Regulatory Agency.. Tennessee is a Terminate At Will State anyway.
It is a Class E Felony and at least 150 days in jail, with a $ 3K Fine. Hire a competent attorney. You may not have much to lose by trying it. Reducing it to a non felony 3rd offense might be the best solution.
A TN DUI Conviction cannot be expunged. Sometimes a good lawyer can mitigate the consequences of a bad background.
The mandatory minimum is 45 days in jail. You did not state the Sentence, but sometimes a lengthier Sentence can include in house rehabilitation, and possibly other things. Going home is not an option however. He should have thought about the Sentence when the Judge was considering it.
Took care of when I felted sentence out
Not sure of your question. You might call the Court Clerk about the remaining fines/costs owing, especially jail costs.
You get the Paid In Full Receipts from the Court Clerk wherever you were convicted of DUI. It help[s to go there in person with your Docket Numbers. Call the Court Clerk first to make sure you have the right Court. Older Convictions can take longer than recent ones.
I have been incarcerated for 24 years, and noticed the DOS states they wanted me to pay $240 reinstatement fees and go to DUI school. Just paid the $240, but I am told I may not need to go to DUI school since it was so long ago.
You can apply for the TNDL, but when they deny it, ask why. DUI School Certificate will probably be required, especially since DOS has already demanded it. DOS issues the license, not the Courts.
Second question: Why do I have a Tennessee DL/ ID Number if I've never lived in that state?
I received my conviction there however, this doesn't make any sense. I have paid the courts and completed all requirements for my conviction. I also paid a reinstatement fee to the state... Read more »
I am not sure of your problem. But you will have to take this up with the Department of Safety, which you apparently have just touched the surface of. Hire a competent attorney to look into this. It does not appear you will be able to do this without counsel, all needed documents and whatever... Read more »
What is your question? TCA Title 40 contains many, many Statutes. And noone "receives" it.
It is definitely possible. You might get Diverted. It would help if it wan an illegal stop involved. Hire an attorney as that will be on your record.
But still have Fines to pay. I don't have a vehicle but plan to get one soon and get my license reinstated.
If you were convicted of DUI, usually the only way to get a TNDL until the entire Sentence is completed and paid, is to apply for the Interlock Device. If you do not have an attorney, then you might ask the Court Clerk to assist you in applying for the Judge's Order. Then you have to... Read more »
I go to Claiborne County all the time. You can call me.
Heroin in his system.Came to our home and arrested him on. Feb 18 for a drug charge. Why did they rearrest him? He had no drugs in car or on his person on dui arrest. Can they file a warrant for what was in his blood?
No they cannot arrest him for a drug charge because he had drugs in his system. He had to be in possession of them. There must be more to it. I recommend you call the clerk's office and get a copy of the affidavit of complaint and see what it says. I also recommend you hire an attorney to... Read more »
Hopefully it was reported to DOS that you completed all sentencing requirements. However the DOS will probably want at least a driver's test and a reinstatement fee. If proof of the sentencing completion is required, you will have to go the Court in which you were convicted to get... Read more »
There may be many reasons. I doubt that you know what exactly occurred. Ask again if you know the facts.
He could be found in violation of probation. At the least he will not be eligible for TNDL reinstatement. He needs to contact whoever he is supposed to see about the service, and get it over with.

Yes, it happens alot. The LEO needs some evidence that the suspect was driving the vehicle earlier. Then he puts together his proof of intoxication, and he gets a Warrant for DUI. Your Friend needs a competent attorney to prepare for a thorough Preliminary Hearing.
for me to fake a drugtest for my probation officers ???
Yes... a Misdemeanor.
We had a handshake agreement for buyer(long-time friend) to pay for a commercial van. 2009 Chevy, agreement was $3500, 500/month, never paid. He was supposed to transfer plates and insurance to his name but didn't, so it is still on our commercial insurance. We do not have contact with him or... Read more »
You should be able to get DOS to issue a new title certificate in the purchaser's name. Ask your County Clerk first, then call Nashville. Once issued send a copy to your agent, and try to deliver the title to the owner. Also that is probably a lease with option to purchase transaction,... Read more »
