When police stop you for a DUI or impaired driving investigation, things happen quickly and people often act without understanding the consequences.

Even though you were allowed to leave, the charge is already active and deadlines now apply.

What you do in the first hours and days matters.

---

Do Not Explain the Situation Yet

Police may contact you again.
Anything you say can later be used as evidence.

---

Avoid Contacting Others Involved

Messages to passengers or witnesses may appear in disclosure.
Even casual conversations can create complications.

---

Keep All Paperwork

Your documents contain dates and details that affect the case.
Bring them when speaking with Pat Atherton.

---

Write Down What You Remember

Make a simple timeline while events are fresh.
Small details often matter later.
