DUI question

[clawdia]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? KS

My husband is commuting to KS for work. We live in Oklahoma. He travels home to see us on the weekends. Last night he was arrested for DUI, (.17 %) and they found a couple grams of pot in his truck. He has a DUI from 19 yrs ago in MO. What are we facing in all likelihood? He is going to get a lawyer.

SECOND DUI OFFENSE

You will receive 90 days to one year imprisonment and will be fined $1,000 to $1,500 plus court costs, probation and evaluation fees.

You must complete the court ordered treatment program for alcohol and drug abuse (at your expense).

Your driving privileges will be suspended for one year. After a one-year suspension of driving privileges is completed, you are restricted to driving only a motor vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device for one year. This mechanism makes it impossible for anyone who is intoxicated to start the motor vehicle. Proof of such device’s installation and use shall be provided to the Division of Motor Vehicles before driving privileges are fully reinstated.

Your vehicle can be impounded for up to one year.

are these the maximums, is there room for plea bargaining for lesser penalties?
the first offense was 19 yrs ago....
will he be allowed to come back to oklahoma to serve any time given to him and his probation where he lives?

He'll serve his time in the jurisdiction where he is prosecuted.

The pot may add to his jail time.

Sorry. I'd hunker down and concentrate on keeping everything running (bills & kids) while he's away.
