More details to this question:
I was in an accident. Single car. I ran off the road at an off ramp and into the median and onto the opposite side of the road. I passed field sobriety test but tested positive for alcohol. Officer said the test only tested for presence of alcohol and did not give a BAC. I was released from the scene and went home. How long does a Missouri State Trooper have to issue a ticket?
