Yes. You can face a DUI charge in Nettleton even if you were taking medication prescribed to you. Lawful use of medication does not automatically prevent a charge when an officer believes the medication caused impairment while driving. The case will often require review of dosage, timing, and how the medication affects you individually. Documentation from prescribing physicians and pharmacy records can be important in explaining legitimate use and mitigating the prosecution’s claims. Each circumstance is different, so defending such a charge focuses on whether the officer had reasonable suspicion to stop you, whether observations of impairment were reliable, and whether testing and evidence collection were performed correctly. Gathering medical records and promptly seeking legal guidance helps preserve evidence and craft a defense that addresses both the criminal allegations and any administrative licensing issues that may follow.
