What Happens After a DUI Arrest

After a DUI arrest in the Auburn area, the defendant is transported to Auburn Main Jail for booking. At the jail, they go through the standard booking process — fingerprints, photograph, background check, and breathalyzer or blood test results are documented.

For a first offense misdemeanor DUI, many defendants are released on their own recognizance or on bail within several hours. For felony DUI or DUI with aggravating factors, bail must typically be posted before release.

The DMV process runs separately from the criminal case. The defendant has 10 days from the date of arrest to request a DMV hearing to challenge the automatic license suspension. This is independent of the bail bond and the criminal court process.
