the legal term "nol pros means that the charges were not put forward. The person was STILL arrested for BWI and taken off the water and placed in to handcuffs. WIthout knowing the details of the case its hard to say what happend. Maybe the person didn't blow into a breathilyzer. That would mean their drivers license would automatically be suspended for 90 days by the DMV, not the court. If that was the case then the prosecution would be losing a key piece of evidence (blood alcohol content). Not a fatal blow to the prosecution, but it just may have been in this case...
