Generally DUI's come with a fine and up to 6 months in jail. If you can pay the fines which are usually $1000-10000 depending on the state then no jail time. Your license will get suspended (hopefully) since you were driving drunk and could have killed someone. I hope they lock you up!

Hey, all you have to do is call  the lawrence county jail in pa and they should tell you if they still have the inmate in custody, what he was charged with and if he/she is not there they should give you the release date.  It is all public information so you shouldn't have any problems getting the information.

Ask you attorney or look in the your state's penal code book.

You need to call the jail for that information.  In some cases you have to make an appointment.  Each county or state has different rules.

Dude, you can SO beat that in court. I hope you plead innocent. Get a lawyer. If you can't afford one, ask for a jury trial. By that time, the prosecutor will get a hold of you and try to get you to take a plea agreement. Try to get them to plead it down to a lesser charge (I dont know what that would be) and to have the record SEALED IMMEDIATELY. That means if a future employer looks at your criminal history, this offense won't show up. IF you can do that, then who cares if you get convicted or not? The fine will be minimal and you won't be serving any jail time. If you can't do that, go to trial. \n\nResearch this online more, but basically, they have no case whatsoever if they CANT proved that you were intoxicated. The burden of proof is on THEM, not you.\n\nNow..They COULD tag you with underage drinking if you are under 21, keep that in mind and plan you strategy accordingly

You are not being scammed by the system.  Anyone who is charged and found guilty of a DUI must take a course through the Division of Motor Vehicles.  Go to the DMV website for your county and there will be a link to what you need to do.  If your boyfriend does not take the course, he may lose his license for good---never get them back---maybe pay a huge fine, and ---if the judge feels your boyfriend failed to take the course simply because he did not want to take the course, he could be charged with contempt of court or violating a court order and be sent to jail for whatever period of time the judge thinks is appropriate.\n\nGo the DMV website for the county you live in.  Either that, or find a lawyer.

Generally, it's a 93 day misdemeanor.  Here's a little blurb from the statute:\n\n257.625(10) A person who is convicted of violating subsection (2) is guilty of a crime as follows: \n\n(a) Except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (c), a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not less than $100.00 or more than $500.00, or both.\n\nThere are a few questions, however.  First, was this car your son's car?  If not, was he "in charge" of the car at the time he gave her control of it?  Second, did he "authorize or knowingly permit" her to drive the car?  Third, and most importantly, was he aware that she was intoxicated when he permitted her to drive the car?  If it took the police officer more than few minutes to determine that she was intoxicated after the cop had her perform field sobriety tests and a breath test, it's unlikely your son would have been able to determine that she was drunk from a layperson's perceptive. \n\nThe issues that arise in these cases are next to impossible.  Unless your son freely admitted to the police that he knew she drunk and let her drive anyway, they'll have an uphill battle, especially if an attorney files a discovery request.  I haven't seen many of these cases, even though I only do DUI defense.  It's rare to see one of these cases prosecuted because of the difficulties the prosecutors encounter.  \n\nWilliam Maze

probably no jail time, but probation with breathalyzers every single morning at 6 am and work program every Saturday. Stay out of trouble and don't drink or do drugs on probation (shouldn't do drugs anyway, but especially not on probation lol)or it can last for years.

You must have already been arrested otherwise you wouldn't have taken a breathalizer to blow an 034 so that isn't the issue here. If the officer can articulate why he thought that you were driving under the influence, you can still be CONVICTED of driving under the influence of intoxicants AND/OR drugs. Get a good attorney. In cases like these, it is money well spent.

You shouldn't go to jail at all. Just a fine. Unless you were drunk or had drugs.

Well your first offence will have expired by now, so you wont get more than a few points and maybe a fine.\n\nYou should stop drinking and driving though for your own and the publics sake.

Yes.  One is usually charged with an infraction BEFORE appearing in Court on said offense.   To be honest, if it is a petty crime, then you may luck out, depending on your level of probation.  If you must report weekly, drug test, etc...then I'd tell my PO.  If you are on unsupervised probation, then you may get away with it.  I am a paralegal and thus, can NOT give legal advice, but these are the option I see.

Not very good.  Check the state code in the state where you live.  VA = DUI 2nd is 30 days min to 1 year max but 20 days are mandatory not subject to suspension. Also depending on his blood alcohol level could be more days as well.  >.15 but <.20 = 10 additional days\n       >.20 = 20 more days

You might find your answer here http://www.caseassist.com/Links/CriminalJustice1.htm look for State of Pennsylvania Ofender Tracking and Information System.\n\nGood Luck!

Unless you are under 18 you are SOL.  It won't show up on DMV reports after 3 years, but it's going to stay on there forever.  You, my friend are a convicted criminal.\nMe too, BTW.

Fighting a DUI in any state is tough. Chat with other people who have been on trial for DUI. There are several factors that make a person guilty or not guilty. Assuming you are the driver and you have had at least one drink with alcohol before driving and you have not been found guilty of DUI in the past. Questions you need answered:  (1) was your blood alcohol content .08 or above. You can, on your own, obtain your BAC results from the agency that charged you. This has a time limit. (2) Are you 21 years of age. If under 21 NO alcohol is allowed BAC of 0.00 is legal. (3) Why were you stopped? There has to be a reason why the officer stopped you. Did you break at least one out of about 1200+ traffic laws in the State of Ca? I feel these are three questions you must have answered before freaking out \n\nDrinking alcohol------------------> Driving------------------> Breaking a traffic law------------------------>getting stopped by police----------------->failing one field sobriety test------------------->arrest-------------->BAC test (breath or blood) evidence--------------->citation issued-------------------->released from arrest---------------> call a lawyer or not…can’t sleep at night….freaking out.\n\nIf you have been charged with DUI and have not gone to trial, do about 3 hours research before hiring a lawyer. Check out case law and case ruling on recent DUI trials in CA. Get stats on sentences for first time offenders. You should see a trend in fines, probation, time served….. In many states there is a max. sentence for a class one misdemeanor (ex. Max 1 year jail, 3 years probation, $2500 fine). This is told to you by the judge at your first court appearance. People freak when they hear this. This is where case law and rulings come in. Usually if found guilty you will (pay a fine, spend one night in jail, have to go to AA meetings, be put on 1 year unsupervised probation, loose driving privileges for 3 months) This is common.   \n\n If the only factor is DUI not involving a prior criminal history, accident, injury, death, damage, extreme DUI, a felony (drugs, weapons….). Get your BAC results. Find out why you were stopped. Get a copy of the Police DUI report. Look over the officer’s narrative (find out how you did on the Field Sobriety Tests). Don’t think you are the first person this has happened to. If the odds are not in you favor (if your at this point there probably not) go into court, plead guilty, take your lumps OR spend $6000 on a lawyer, listen to him tell the judge what a nice person you are, listen to him ask the officer questions he already knows the answer to (impressing you, getting more of your money, looking smart). Get a hug and a “I’m sorry” when found guilty. Get the same sentence you would have gotten if you would have pled guilty. \n\nThe way to beat a DUI is learn from your mistake. You committed a crime. Thank goodness you were stopped before someone was killed. Thank goodness this can be put behind you. Thank goodness you don’t have to live with this the rest of you life. Thank goodness you are worried and want to know how to fight a DUI, it shows that you know you did something wrong. I’m happy you’re a fighter. Keep your head up and come out a winner in this fight. \n\nI’m writing this because when an accident involving the death of an innocent person and a driver who is DUI my heart falls out of me. Lives are ruined on both ends. Lives of good people on both ends are torn apart. What a shame when a night of celebration turns into 20 years behind bars and people taking their last breath.. Think what a lucky person you are. I have seen too many who were unlucky.   \n\nYour Honor, I made a mistake. I haven’t made this same mistake since. I know I used bad judgment. I know this could have turned out to be a lot worse than it did. I’m just happy that I was stopped before more damage was done. I know that I will be punished for my bad judgment
