How do i know if I’m getting charged with a DUI if I wasn’t arrested?
I was pulled over last night very drunk. The officers gave a sobriety test and I told them I couldn’t stand on one leg because I had to much to drink. They sat me in the police car then drove me home and dropped me off leaving my truck on the side of the road. They did not take me to the police station, they did not do a breathalyzer, they did not take blood and they didn’t give me any paperwork. Could I still get a DUI or does it sound like they let me go?

Based upon what you have written you were not arrested and will not be. You got lucky. From what you have written there is no evidence to prove that you were driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance.
