The length of time was also of concern as they are charged by APD codes to notify a DUI is under arrest as soon as possible. 40 minutes is way to long according to the DA.

Once you are suspected of being drunk, you are to be charged and arrested. Not hang out and discuss and then all of the sudden flip[ around to his back and grab his arm and say you are under arrest. It should have been handled way differently.
