​

The City of Wildwood is located within St. Louis County, Missouri.  The City Hall and court is located at 16860 Main St., Wildwood, MO 63040.

​

The division of the St. Louis County Police Department patrols the streets of Wildwood.

​

These police officers are well-trained and will diligently patrol the area in search of alleged law violators.

​

The officers in Wildwood often make arrests for DWI, drug possession, assault, and many other offenses. 

​

If you have a DWI charge, Mr. Feely will help you by fighting for your rights in both the criminal charge (DWI ticket) and also the resulting DOR administrative matter.

​

You will have an administrative case that involves DOR if your BAC tested .08 or higher, or if you refused the breath or blood test.

​

When you have a DWI charge you must act quickly to protect your driving privileges. 

​

The Missouri Department of Revenue can suspend your license for a BAC test result of .08 or higher - and this can take place 15 days after you are arrested under certain circumstances.

​

A person can also be arrested and charged for a DWI if they are under the influence of a drug instead of alcohol.

​

This type of DWI charge is sometimes referred to as a DUI. 

​

If arrested for a DUI, the police can request a blood or urine test from the arrested driver.

​

The police will generally ask for a blood test instead of a urine test, because a blood test will show the level of the active drug in your system at the time the sample is taken. 

​

A urine test will show the metabolites of a particular drug that you had previously taken (confirmation of past use), but not the current level of the drug in the bloodstream. 

​

Some drugs like marijuana stay in the body for a month or more, thus a urine test won't help the police show that a driver was under the influence of a drug at the time of operation of the vehicle.

​

Missouri does not have a set standard that dictates what exact amount of a drug in your system creates a presumption of intoxication. 

​

This is unlike alcohol DWI cases, where a .08 blood alcohol content is the set legal standard for presumption of intoxication.  

​

​In other words, there is no ".08 standard" in drugged driving (DUI) cases.
