A drunk driving charge can happen one of two ways in Delaware. If you have been drinking alcoholic beverages and are above the legal limit of .08 and are pulled over you can be arrested for driving while intoxicated in Delaware. Another way you can be arrested for driving under the influence in Delaware is if you are under the influence of street, recreational or prescription drugs. Cocaine is a very common street drug in Delaware. People often snort, shoot or smoke cocaine and then choose to operate a motor vehicle which can lead to being arrested. If you are facing Delaware Cocaine DUI charges you should immediately speak with a Newark Delaware Cocaine DUI Lawyer.

Penalties for Cocaine DUI Conviction in Delaware

A DUI conviction, even a first time offense, can disrupt your life now and in the future. Upon conviction you will face severe fines, fees, increased insurance premiums and a loss of driving privileges. You may also face up to 6 months in jail for a first time DUI offense in Delaware.

If cocaine was found in the car at the time of the DUI arrest you will face additional charges related to the drugs such as drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. The consequences for these charges can be significantly more severe than the DUI charges and can involve fines, fees, community service and jail time.

  • Erratic driving behaviors
  • Excessively fast talking
  • Dilated pupils
  • Excessive sniffling
  • Fidgeting or nervousness
