Legal Question in DUI Law in Pennsylvania

Not given a field sobriety test, blood test or urine sample

I was told three times by two different

officers that I wouldn't be charged with

DUI. I did not have to take a field

sobriety test, blood test or give urine. I

was at home for 20 minutes prior to the

police arriving. However, my vehicle was

observed driving erradically by a

motorist. I fully cooperated with the

police because they indicated that my

name would not be in the newspaper

and I wouldn't be cited for DUI. Now,

my case has been turned over to the DA

and my boss, a superintendent of a

public school has been contacted. If

charged, I would loss my job? Please

advise

Re: Not given a field sobriety test, blood test or urine sample

Why would your boss be notified? That doesn't make much sense. And, either the police filed charges or they didn't. If they didn't, the DA wouldn't be involved.

It seems that there are a few facts missing that I'd like to ask about if you'd like to give me a call or email me. (Please feel free to call or email regardless of where in the state you're located)

In sum, though, if you didn't have a blood or breath test, I'm not sure how they could pursue DUI charges.
