What constitutes a DUI charge in Alachua County, Florida?

 

A:

In the State of Florida,  in order to be charged with DUI it is necessary for the prosecutor to prove that the person was either:

  • 1. Driving a motor vehicle with unlawful blood alcohol content; in excess of .08%. (This can be proven by breath testing results from Florida's CMI Intoxilyzer 8000 or blood test results)
  • 2. Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs (prescription, OTC or illegal) to the extent that a person's normal faculties were impaired. (This can be proven by such things as: police officer observations, urine tests, admissions by the defendant or drugs seized from the vehicle)
