Yes, you can be arrested for a D.U.I., even if you haven’t been drinking. Why? D.U.I. means Driving Under the Influence.
You can be under the influence of alcohol, illegal narcotics, and even your prescription pills. If you take anything that would impair your ability to be a safe driver, you can be pulled over and arrested.
A sergeant watched this driver speeding along Southside Boulevard and pulled him over. Once he started talking to the driver, it was clear: the driver was under the influence. The driver said it himself, he hadn’t had a drink in more than a decade. But it wasn’t alcohol he was under the influence of… it was marijuana.
Under the influence = Arrest for D.U.I.
Why does this matter? When you’re under the influence of anything that impacts your ability to be a safe driver, you’re not just putting your life at risk. You’re putting the lives of every other driver, passenger, and pedestrian on the road in danger.
Take our advice. If you’re under any influence, don’t get behind the wheel. Our D.U.I. Unit works hard every night to stop those dangerous drivers, and we will stop you. Drive safe, Duval.
