Hello, I have a question. My husband was arrested and had a blood test taken instead of taking a breathalizer. He was then fined several hundred dollars. When I asked him what his alcohol level was he said that they needed to send it to a lab. Is this true, and will we get the results in the mail. How can they fine him if they don't know if he was over the limit. When I did pick him up a couple hours later he did not seem under the influence. Thanks for your thoughts.

Well to get right to the point, my alcoholic fiancee was arrested AGAIN tonight for DUI. This I believe makes his 4th one in Alabama. Here is the story. We were having a labor day get together at his parents house. I thought he wasnt drinking and he was even laughing with me (this after last night he told me I should leave, that he is no good, basically, ALOT of major quacking). Well, a little while later his whole personality changed. He wanted to go home and told his niece to go get me. Well, I come outside and then he tells me he doesnt want me to take him home, he wants his niece to. Also, I fixed him some food, and then he said he didn't want it. Well, then he proceeds to come in the house to tell me drunkenly that he wants me gone, out of his home. blah blah blah. Well, he leaves with his PREGNANT niece driving him home. Did he get home safely and we all get to spend a nice quiet night without him? NO! He then has his niece bring him back and then he wanted to drive, she said she was NOT going to ride with him. She got out and he took off with everyone yelling for him to wait and someone will take him home. Well, a little while later, about 3 hrs later, we get a call from him. He is in the county jail, he completely totaled MY car. (He conveniently took off in my car), he refused the breathalizer and has to stay a mandatory 24 hrs. Noone else was hurt and he said he hurt his back and chest. He called me crying, saying how sorry he was. I said, "Yea, you are sorry AFTER the fact. I said, I don't want to hear it. I told him, "YOU want me to come and get you after you told me to LEAVE?" Well, he also sprained my wrist on Saturday night. He got verbally abusive and held me down on the bed where my wrist got sprained and I have numerous bruises where he poked, shoved, and pushed me. I had just spoken to him on the phone right after he left and asked him was he at home or was he driving. His exact reply was, "Dont you worry about it, I'm not at home!" I reminded him he needed to think about what he was doing, that he was driving, it was a holiday, and he had been drinking. His sister said she thought he was drinking whiskey which makes him very mean. He got a DUI in 2006 and after almost 2 yrs and $10,000 to a lawyer and numerous amount of money spent on court visits, he got off SCOTT FREE! The attorney even told him, don't get another one because the laws have gotten stricter and it could really do you in if you got a 4th. He is already on probation in another state from last yr in which he did 4months in county jail for DUI. And he is also paying a hefty fine there. The county that he got the DUI in, he also has an unpaid ticket for driving with revoked license from a year ago. I am beside myself. I'm not even mad because this has been coming. He told me how sorry he was, he was crying, and said, I'm sorry, I totaled your car! I said it was too late for I'm sorry. I hung up on him. I mean, the way he has verbally and now physically abused me, as well as mental. Now this. I'm kinda in a way relieved he got this, I hate to say this, but a part of me does want him to go to jail. I told him he brought this upon himself, noone else but him. Am I wrong or bad to feel this way? His sister said she is NOT going to bail him out. His bail or bond (i forget which it is, the 10% amount you have to pay to get someone out of the pokey) is $150. His dad said he wasnt getting him out. I'm not either. He gets his paycheck on thurs and I told his sister, he may just have to wait to get out on thursday from his OWN money. I mean, when does this madness stop. I'm deeply hurt because now I know he doesnt respect me at all. That was MY car to go to work and back. Not his truck. Well, its actually MY truck. I am having to drive my son's car to work, 100 miles altogether, and I hope it makes it. Does anyone know what happens after this many DUI's and driving with revoked? Also, what can happen to me? I didnt even know he had took off in my car because I was in the house taking care of his grandmother. We didnt call the police because we thought he went straight home. Will my insurance pay? I don't know what to do.:wtf2
