Much like Connecticut has, West Virginia has adopted a program that results in the erasure of a DWI from a motorists record. While their program requires the use of an ignition interlock device and their suspension is shorter, it still results in the erasure of the arrest. A news story about it is here.
If it was a routine traffic stop, there was no accident, no prior offenses and the motorist didn't flee from police, then the defendant is eligible. This is similar to Connecticut Alcohol Education Program, a discretionary program for first-time offenders that requires the completion of classes to earn the dismissal.
