sweendog67	He will have to pay all summery tickets or maybe plead guilty to the dui and have the summary charges droped.... Then he will get his sentencing date set for his dui, it will be a few months later... surly if it is his first dui, I doubt he will get any jail time.. Now it sounds like your b/f may have a drinking problem and that may be the bigger issue that needs to be addressed here. Bottom line is, first dui is less than 2 days in jail and that is rare, it is usuall probation or a defered sentance that becomes expunged if he stays out of trouble for a year. His best bet would be to go to rehab for a month and at least see if he is alcoholic.... Good luck, and don't worry, he won't go to jail.. But if he does and you get lonly, give me a call..lol Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Frank	He only has one ticket, but he was driving w/o a license? Seems a little iffy. He should get a good lawyer. Judges are coming down hard on people. I just had a friend go to jail for 2 months after a DUI. And she had a kid to take care of. The judge didn't care. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Dixie H	It all depends on what the judge decides to do. He can get sent back to jail and he can also get credit for time served. He can also lose his licence,get probation, or get sentinced to aa meetings. It all depends on the judge and your boyfreinds attitude in court. Beleive me I learned the hard way.

Spirit Walker	THAT is up to the judge. I hope YOU weren't riding with him when he made this suicide attempt, for that was what is was. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jwurm99	1st offender D.U.I Suspects usually never see jail time past the booking process unless you caused injury or damage. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

chrstnwrtr	How can he get 4 speeding tickets in one day? Ok, I don't want to judge your boyfriend but it sounds like he hasn't grabbed the concept of driving down very well. A DUI on your record is not good; it can hinder his chances of finding employment. I suggest that he take public transportation for a year until he's able to learn how to safely drive. He should pay the tickets and go to traffic school. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

HAYLEY	He will go to court, I doubt they will put him back in jail. He will prob get probation. Depends on where you live also Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

judy f	That is too bad that happened. Maybe if you get a good lawyer, things can be straightened out, but it doesn't look good. I know a guy who got a DUI n Illinois. He still doesn't have his license after five years. Money sometimes saves you in this kind of situation, but you need about $5,000 here in Illinois. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

smoothie	He will have to serve the mandatory sentence, but there is a good chance he won't have to go to jail right after court. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Happy Hag	I don't know for sure, but let me tell you, my best friend's son went to court, got put on probation, when he missed a meeting with his prob. officer (because he was told if he left work he'd be fired) an arrest warrant was issued. I believe for a DUI. He called his mom and said he wasn't going back to jail and he'd be back when the warrant expired...he figured 7 years. His mom is heartbroken since she doesn't know where he is, did get a call saying she was a gramma, but can't even see the child for 4 more years. Just have him go, face the music and have it done and over with.... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rastus7742	It all depends on if your a famous star or not. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

93.5% Right	Depends on his sentance. Jail time is not manditory on a first offense but it is always a possibility. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kel	He should go back to jail, on an ethical and moral note - but - every state / county / township is different. If I were the judge, I'd throw him back in, for sure. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mr. Christopher	The judge will decide that. Most likely he will get hit with financial fees larger than the fines and no jail time. Also told to perform community service, have his liscence suspened or not be able to aquire one for a specified period of time and sent home. They don't want you in jail. They just take all your money. Oh and after you drop him off at home. Find yourself someone who is not that stupid to get behind the wheel intoxicated! You'll be glad you did.
