Celebrations Director Pleads Guilty to DUI
The celebrations director for Butte Montana may have been celebrating a bit too hard prior to getting behind the wheel of her car. The woman responsible for overseeing the St. Patrick’s Day and Fourth of July festivities for the city has pled guilty to a Montana DUI charge according to a Montana Standard news report.
The director, who has three prior DUI convictions, remains free with an alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet. A fourth DUI conviction in Montana is classified as a felony and could result in a prison sentence of up to five years.
The law allows for a probationary license but may require an ignition interlock device to be installed in the vehicle. The driver convicted of DUI has to pay for the installation and maintenance of this device and is liable for fines and increased insurance premiums for years to come.
There could be several discrepancies or inconsistencies in the evidence that the prosecution plans to use to a secure conviction in a DUI case. An experienced DUI attorney can find these mistakes in the case against you and work to have your DUI charge reduced or possibly even dismissed. Hiring an experienced Montana DUI attorney is essential if you hope to walk away from your DUI hearing with a favorable verdict.
