Subject Question About 2nd DUI

Date Wed Feb 4 2009 13:44
Author Ms. Mary (jellypoems@yahoo.com)

In June, 2003 I was arrested in Superior, Wisconsin for a DUI and charged with a gross misdemeanor. I had to pay a fine of like $1000, reinstate my license after a 6 month suspension, and take a "Victim's Impact Panel" and an "alcohol assessment". It was a costly venture, obviously, however I blew a .15 at the time (BAC). They didn't order any blood tests and come to think of it the Douglas County arresting Sheriff didn't read me my MIRANDA RIGHTS.

I didn't argue it, just accepted it.

On June 25, 2009 in Duluth, Minnesota (with a Wisconsin license) I was arrested again and charged with a 3rd Degree DWI. I think I blew just above a .20 if I'm correct. I was "arrested" for 3 hours and released without bail or paperwork. I asked the cops what I was charged with and what the BAC was but they refused to tell me. I wasn't "acting" drunk at all, and was cooperative. Also, they did give me a blood test this time.

I'm wondering at this point what type of sentence I might be facing? The first dwi in Wisconsin was over five years ago, but I know it still counts. I haven't drank since that day (I'm on day ten sober), and I reallly want to do SOMETHING to prove to the court that I am willing to not drink, period.

What types of punishment am I looking at?

Also, I had taken a small dose of new medication that day that could've impacted my level of alcohol because I'd never taken it before and the label didn't say not to drink on the medication, it's for seizures though. I told the police this but I didn't have the name of the medication on me, is there anything I can do about this?

What do you suggest? I'm very afraid.
