What is the name of your state? Michigan - OWI in Iowa
My boyfriend is currently in Iowa for work and was taken out by his employers for a few drinks. On his way back to the hotel, he stopped at a grocery store to pick up some food... He got back in the car and was pulled over and blew a 0.11. The cop told him that someone had called and told them to search for his car which is the whole reason he was pulled over. He has hired an attorney who represented him in court today to enter the "not guilty" plea and they have another court date in 2 weeks.
I am wondering what kind of penalties he could incur? He has a Michigan license and this is his only drunk driving related offense would the punishment be using Iowa or Michigan law? Is there anything he can do to reduce the sentence or to keep a clean record? His lawyer told him not to enroll in any classes/volunteering until they figure out if he has to do that in Iowa for it to count.
I totally don't understand this process and I hate being so far away during all of it! Can anyone shed some light on the court process too?What is the name of your state?
