The suspect reportedly has a lengthy court history of arrests for disorderly conduct, theft, trespassing, failure to show insurance and leaving the scene of an accident. So he'll definitely want to get himself an Arizona DUI attorney to defend him of the charges. Most of these past charges ended up being dismissed during the negotiations of plea agreements.
Kristoph Darding was charged with driving under the influence after a long investigation in which the DUI charges stem from impairment by marijuana. Yet DUI attorneys have long questioned driving under the influence of marijuana charges because the THC in marijuana is quickly converted by the body into inert metabolites. The metabolites can stay in the body for days at a time, which can be detected from DUI blood tests. This is problematic because a person will often test positive for marijuana in their system even though they are not impaired by the drug and have not consumed the drug for days or even weeks.
If a person faces DUI charges that stem from impairment by marijuana or other drugs, then he or she should contact an Arizona DUI attorney to ensure that all the evidence in a case is properly analyzed and that the defendant's rights are protected.
