Drug OWI Allegation?

Drugged Driving Cases Are Not the Same as Alcohol Cases

A drugged driving allegation may involve legal prescriptions, THC, controlled substances, metabolites, officer observations, drug recognition claims, blood testing, or related possession charges. The defense should not assume that a positive test automatically proves impairment at the time of driving.

Drugged Driving Evidence Can Be More Complicated Than It Looks

Drugged driving cases are often technical. A test may show the presence of a substance, but the defense may still need to ask what that means, when the substance was used, whether the substance caused impairment, whether the officer observed impairment, and whether medical or prescription context changes the picture.

Attorney Glenn E. Avena reviews blood or urine testing, lab records, chain of custody, officer observations, field sobriety tests, alleged admissions, prescription history, THC issues, and related drug possession allegations. The strategy may differ significantly from an alcohol-only OWI case.

Clients should not casually discuss medication, marijuana, prescriptions, or substance use with police or others without legal advice. Statements can become part of the evidence. A focused defense review helps separate assumptions from proof.
