"Subject was combative and showing signs of insobriety, arrested them. Was unable to get a field test, they sobered up in the station before we were able to test them again." Bam. Suddenly it's your word versus the heavily weighted word of a cop.

That's fucked up. That definitely wouldn't fly here - if they can't produce a test result, the charge doesn't stick (though a breath test is valid too - but, if a breath test gives an excess alcohol reading, you have the right to request a blood test and they must use whichever one gives the more favorable result. The reverse is not true - you don't have any right to demand a breath test if you've only been given a blood test).
