Two drunk driving incidents in one day: suspended sentence
Charged with drunk driving twice in a single day, our client received a suspended prison sentence and avoided actual imprisonment.
How the case unfolded
Background
Our client was charged with driving a car while intoxicated twice on the same day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. With two offenses in one day, a heavy sentence was expected.
Issues and ruling
The court found that neither instance of driving caused any particular traffic danger and that the blood alcohol level fell within the lowest statutory range, treating these as mitigating factors. It also took into account that our client admitted both offenses.
Outcome
The court imposed two years of imprisonment suspended for four years, so our client avoided actual imprisonment. 80 hours of community service and a 40-hour law-abiding driving course were also ordered.
This is the outcome of an individual case and does not guarantee the same result in similar matters. Some facts have been generalized to protect the parties involved.
