Hey Ice-
My roomate, who is twenty years old got pulled over last night with 2 beers in his system. The officer gave him field sobriety and my roomate passed it. However the officer detected alcohol on his breath and took him to jail. There was also 1 old unopened beer in the back of his truck and it cost me 720 to get him out of jail. He was charged with an M.I.P. and a Minor D.U.I.- When I got him out of jail they did'nt set a court date for him because the amount for the offense was paid in full. He never recieved an actual copy of his citation. Truck impounded, and license confiscated all the routine stuff. He was pulled over in Allen, Texas- about 20 minutes north of Dallas, you may be familiar with it.
I guess my questions are...
-Did he plead guilty by paying the fine.
-What class of misdeamdor is a Minor D.U.I.
-Can it be deffered with any deffered ajudication deals.
-Do they typically suspend licenses for the first offense on a Minor D.U.I.
-What is the best move from here?
I know you may not be able to answer all or any of the questions but any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help Ice.
Andrew
