This question comes up fairly often. There is no benefit to speeding up the process of filing of charges. Although it rarely happens, sometimes paperwork DOES get lost in the system.

At the time of your initial hearing the court would have advised you of the administrative suspension for being charged with an OWI and either failing the breath test or refusing the breath test. If you failed by having a BAC over a .08 then your license, personal and CDL, would be suspended an... Read more »
Without more detail it is too difficult to give an accurate answer. However, if there was no injury on a fleeing case, it is possible to get house arrest in most situations, if at all.
I have two OWI charges in Indiana in 2010 and early 2011, I am now applying for a course in college that wants me to disclose my criminal record. I'm afraid that these will exclude me from the mortuary course. I don't want to list these on my application if they're not still on my record.
If they are convictions then it will be on your criminal history as well as your driving record.

You haven't asked a question. The judge or jury will have to decide whether they believe you or the other witnesses if this goes to trial.
Your question does not contain enough facts to facilitate an answer. If your sentence was agreed to as part of a plea agreement, it can only be modified by agreement of all parties and approval by the court.

If you are charged with operating with any level of controlled substance in your body, sobriety is irrelevant. It is not a defense. You should discuss your concerns with your current attorney.

The police must follow a set procedure in order to eliminate targeting or cherry-picking. The stop must be for a reasonable and short period of time (time enough to check license and registration, for example).

If you can afford private counsel, by all means seek out an experienced OWI lawyer. If you are indigent, ask the court to so determine, and appoint a public defender. Do not try to represent yourself.
You definitely need a lawyer if you are charged with an OWI. ROR stands for "Released Own Recognizance".
Yes. Charges are filed based upon probable cause. If the case goes to trial, the State will have to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. If the defendant was neither intoxicated nor had alcohol or a controlled substance in the body in violation of the per se statute, that would be a... Read more »

The warrant will remain active until you are arrested. You should consult with an attorney to see if you can turn yourself into the court rather than the jail.
I have to turn myself in. What will happen to me?
If you turn yourself in or are picked up, you will sit until a judge hears your case. If you hire an attorney to represent you, depending on the judge and prosecutor, your attorney may be able to either negotiate a bond you can afford to get right out of jail, or an agreement to surrender to the...
