i was pulled over at about 1209 they said i had taken a liberax and ambien right before i let my house since i was going literay a total of 5 mins away round trip. was pulled over for "blowing a stop sign" which i know didnt do due ti its location to my house where i was pulled over if i had blown it i would have crashed into my neighbors car... but regardless to MP 10 mins to get out of his car to get my info, Still didnt tell me what i was pulled over for. then another 15 min go by and i get out to try to figure out why i was being pulled over, they threatened to arrest me and still didnt tell me why i was being pulled over! another 15 goes by and did this again but this time they yell i blew the stop sign, now happy i knew what i was sitting there for i got back in my car, waited another 15-20 and they had a colorado springs oficer get me out of the car and do the sobtiety test, i fsiled the balance part(obviously the ambien had started doing its job. i had drinkin that night but stoped at 9 yet she said i blew a .089, got arrested affter my 20 observation i did the real test and blew a .067, they then took the blood test about an hour later after they did all the paperwork and what not.
my question is would the liberax and or ambien afected the BAC and are either of those drugs traceable and if so what about if you have the scripts or them. i just dont understand how my BAC could have varried so fast in so little time.
Update:And the other test is the one that they have in the station that makes you blow for like 5 seconds then does it again mins later this is the one that poped .067
the feild breathalizer she said read me at .089 and is why i was taken to the station to take the real one, who process took like 30 mins since station is like a mile away i live on a military base.

no affect on your BAC, BAC is just that blood alcohol content.
It takes only 15 minutes for ambien to start working.
Don't EVER get into a car after taking an ambien, even if it's just a "quick" round trip. If you need to go out and do something, do it BEFORE taking ambien. You need to be responsible while taking something like that.
Ambien clearly states not to take with alcohol. Yeah, that also means AFTER drinking or BEFORE drinking, not just "drinking with". If alcohol is in your system, it does not matter what your BAC was before--it's going to do horrible things to you.
The field test is a real and viable test. You were over the limit at the time you were operating a motor vehicle. The "real test" you claim was only to measure sobriety in lockup after a brief wait. Besides, 20 minutes passed so they're going to know that value is going to be lower than the first.
About the stop sign thing...your car must completely stop moving in conjunction with your local laws--you can't just slow down to a crawl just long to enough to check both ways. All four tires must stop rolling completely. It sounds as if you were told that you failed to stop completely or "failure to yield" or something to that nature.
This sounds like a night of bad decisions and lessons learned.
