After a DUI arrest in Rhode Island, you will be taken to the police station for booking, which includes fingerprinting, photographing, and processing. You may be held until bail is set or released on personal recognizance. Your vehicle may be towed and impounded. You will receive a court date for your arraignment, at which you will enter a plea. From that point, the case proceeds through pre-trial hearings, potential plea negotiations, and if necessary, trial. Having an attorney present at your arraignment and throughout the process is critical.
