Phoenix Dui
dui question for out of state resident?
I posted this in another area, and not sure I had the right area, so reposting here…
I recently recieved a regular DUI in phoenix, AZ but I am from Ohio. I was advised by a different police acquaintance and his leiutenant in phoenix, that if i do not comply and do NOTHING about by dui, my temporary drivers license they create for me for the DUI in Arizona will be suspended, and I will have a warrant in Maricopa County (where Phoenix is), but that there would be no extradition or anyway it would follow me back to Ohio and show up on my record.
I know this is not the proper way to handle this, but can anyone with a legal background confirm this is a possible approach to avoid the dui being on my record and having to do fine/jail/classes for it?
I was told as long as there is a warrant, there is no conviction – therefore nothing on my record in Ohio and also my drivers license in Ohio will not be effected by this, just my ability to drive in Arizona.
Is this true?
No, I don’t think this is correct. I’m an attorney, but this answer is based on what happened to a couple of folks I know. One friend, in her early 80′s, lost her driver’s license. When she tried to get a new license, a 1983 DWI from New Jersey showed up on her New Mexico report and she had to prove she had cleared it in New Jersey. Essentially the same thing happened with another friend. He had a 20 year old DWI from New York that created a problem for him in New Mexico. I think this is going to be reported to Ohio. It’s true that your bench warrant will only be effective in Arizona and they certainly will not extradite you for this, but I think it will show up on your Ohio Motor Vehicle reporting system. I’d check this information out with an Ohio attorney who does criminal defense. It was a big surprise to me that a 25 year old DWI created a problem for my elderly friend.
