First, the police are required to obtain a search warrant in order to search your blood, unless you gave them consent. If they conducted a blood test, they are looking for any substance that could impair your ability to operate a motor vehicle. Usually, they are looking for amphetamines, marijuana (THC) or a metabolite thereof, barbituates, opiates, and the like. You should consult an experienced DUI attorney for this case. You may have a number of defenses available to you. A recent change in Mississippi DUI law makes a DUI conviction a permanent part of your record for enhancement of subsequent offenses. Do not attempt to defend this on your own.
