This depends. If a person is still under the influence, the police can hold a person up to 20 hours for him to sober up. Also, in general a person can be held up to 48 hours before formal charges are brought. After 48 hours the person should at least be arraigned.
There is usually much more to these cases, I have found, then can be written in a Q and A format like this one.
I would be happy to discuss more with you.
