There are no scheduled sobriety checkpoints set for tonight in the Miami Valley.  We have checked with our usual sources (WHIO News, Beavercreek P.D., Montgomery County OVI Task Force, Clark & Montgomery County Sheriff, and Ohio State Highway Patrol in Clark, Greene & Montgomery).  They must be gearing up for some major 4th of July action.

If you are arrested in Ohio for DUI (now called OVI; operating a vehicle impaired) you should contact attorney Charles M. Rowland II immediately at 937-318-1DUI (318-1384), 1-888-ROWLAND (888-769-5263), on Twitter @DaytonDUI, on facebook “Dayton DUI/OVI Defense” or by texting DaytonDUI (one word) to 50500.

Ohio Administrative Code 3701-53-01 sets forth the rules used in blood testing cases.  Like no other area of DUI practice, experience can make all the difference in a blood or urine test.  Ohio DUI defense attorney Charles M. Rowland II has successfully suppressed blood results in OVI cases and has the experience to fight your Blood-Alcohol Test.  Set forth below are just some of the requirement of OAC 3701-53-05:

  • Specimens are to be collected in accordance with RC 4511.19 or RC 1547.11.
  • For blood samples, an aqueous solution of a non-volatile (nonalcohol) antiseptic is to be used.
  • Blood is to be drawn with a sterile dry needle into a vacuum container with a solid anticoagulant, or according to the laboratory manual.
  • The collection of a urine specimen must be witnessed to assure it can be authenticated.  It shall be deposited into a clean glass or plastic screw top container.
  • Blood and urine containers shall be sealed to detect tampering and have a lable with (1) suspect’s name, (2) date and time of collection, (3) name or initials of the person collecting the sample, (4) name or initials of person sealing the sample.
  • Specimens are to be refrigerated when not in transit or under examination.

Standardized Field Sobriety Tests; the walk & turn

June 25th, 2010

A metal detector can detect guns.  Does that mean that every person who sets off the metal detector has a gun?  The standardized field sobriety tests can detect lack of coordination due to intoxication.  Does that mean that all lack of coordination is indicative of intoxication?  Here a completely sober person fails the Walk & Turn portion of the standardized field sobriety tests.  If you think that you have been wrongly labled as intoxicated contact Dayton DUI Defense Attorney Charles M. Rowland II at 937-318-1DUI (318-1384).
