DUI

In 1993 I was in a car accident.

Later in that year after I moved 8 hours away from the occurrence, little did I know, I was issued a ticket 5 months later that stated “warrant issued for arrest”. I had no idea that the state had charged me with a DUI. I did not receive any notification. I was picked up over a year after the accident and arrested as a fugitive. I had no idea! Also, during the course of that time the limit changed from .10 to .08 and I was charged with the new limit. My blood alcohol at the time was.10 and was taken at the hospital with an alcohol swipe. Also, the county sent all correspondence to an old address through this ordeal…I never received any notification. I was young and did not defend myself accordingly.
