I did not finish my interlock (1 year) in AZ, but did finish all other requirements including 15 days incarcerated. Do I have to have an interlock in Tennessee? For 12 months?

You need to talk to your Arizona Lawyer. Possibly you have violated your Probation Order. However you should be able to drive anywhere with the Interlock Device. If you are found driving without it, it will be bad.
It had ran out of gas so I was walking to get gas.

You should hire an attorney immediately for your case as there may be some defenses for it.

You might try Legal Aid who might try to get some Costs executed. I do not believe the Department of Safety will help you. Whatever they say you have to do is what has to be done, right or wrong. DOS issues the TNDL. Sometimes people go to other States for DL's.

You need an attorney that is competent. Medical problems have no effect on sentencing. You probably need to prepare for a Preliminary Hearing, and if indicted, try to get a 1st Offense or try it as you have little to lose. Prescribed Medication is worse than alcohol as there is no standard on... View More
TWRA boarded my boat because (they said) we were shuffling around, but the citation says they could smell pot, they never told us they could smell anything. There was a one hitter with marijuana residue in it, in a ziplock bag, in a bag then in a big bag sitting in front of me so. What kind of... View More

It sounds like the TWRA Officer left you off easy. It would be advisable to hire a competent attorney to get the charge Diverted, Dismissed and Expunged. Otherwise, whether it is a conviction or not, the background check will look like you are an addict and/or/dealer.

2nd Offense DUI is a mandatory minimum of 45 days in Jail. Going to Jail is not free, there will be a large fine, and there are numerous expenses. The fees for an attorney are usually the cheap part of this expensive crime. Hire a competent attorney to represent you, as this is not a job for a... View More

That medical care defense to a charge might work, and is definitely something that should be used at a Preliminary Hearing. If no Hearing was held and only Bound Over, then he missed his opportunity to raise the Defense. But it can be used again after Indictment, but possibly only at Trial.... View More

I’ve never been arrested, I do not have a criminal record. I’m terrified of any of this. I no longer have an attorney.

DUIs are a very confusing and daunting field. I would suggest hiring one as there are possibilities to getting it dismissed and someone can help you through the voluminous paperwork involved.

Those are very serious charges. If they do not have an attorney then they will need to hire one immediately.

No he cannot. However the DA at any Hearing prior to the Grand Jury can Move the Court to Revoke your License. However multiple offense DUI's can be different.

SR-22 Insurance is usually required in order to apply for a License, restricted or otherwise. And it will be more expensive than other drivers without a DUI.
He did have a serious concussion and head injury when the Trooper asked for a blood test in the ER. Should he expect a license suspension, or more? Am I correct that even though the hospital checked his BAC, that result can not be accessed by investigators?

Prior to the Grand Jury, the State can, and usually will, move to revoke the TNDL. The Blood Test is subject to Subpoena. You can Move to Quash, but it will probably be denied. Hire a competent attorney and get ready for the Preliminary Hearing.

The Auto Wreck is circumstantial Evidence of DUI. You should not have took the Blood Test. There may be something a competent attorney can do at the Preliminary Hearing, or even at Circuit Court, but your facts are bad. Call some good lawyers and ask their advice, but there is an outstanding... View More
