i'm sorry your husband's going through this. unfortunately we can't give you an answer here because dwi laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. what applies in your area may not apply in mine. driving under the influence of narcotics (like vicodin) is a crime in many places. however sometimes the judge takes into account whether or not the person had a valid prescription for the medication why the individual was taking that medication and so on. again we're not lawyers here and can't say what might happen in your case. i wish you all the best with this!
can you get a dwi for taking vicodin the night before you were in an accident the next day? blood test done. help. my husband was in accident on nov 7 and he last took vicodin on the 6th can the cops get him with a dwi? i know it will prob show in his blood test but wont the levels be so low it will be dismissed? we really need help he is tryin to get into the navy and now they are tryin to charge him with dwi i just need to know if they can make this charge stick!
