Over-the-Counter Drug DUI Defense Utah Although alcohol related offenses make up the majority of Utah DUIs, a person can be chard with a DUI if the officer believes that the offender is under the influence of a drug to a degree which makes driving unsafe. Legal drugs include allergy medicine, cold medicine, pain medicine, antibiotics, sleeping medicines, plus more.

Legal drug related DUIs are hard to prove due to the questionable evidence of the drug in the case. Because prosecutors are often reluctant to dismiss legal drug related DUI cases, an experienced DUI defense attorney can help you refute the weak evidence in these types of cases.
