I have no intentions of violating the terms of Probation/House Arrest.... I moved into my mother's house when her fibromyalgia got to the point where she can't stand long enough to clean, prepare meals, laundry etc... There are days that it's all she can do to get out of bed due to the pain. I have no problem 'paying my dues', so to speak... however, it will very adversly affect her quality of life if I am sentenced to incarceration at the county jail.
Other than the DUI, the only other 'criminal' charge I have ever had was Possession of Small Amount of Marijuana many years ago. Unfortunately, I was cited for driving under suspension last August but the officer was kind enough to not write it as DUI related.
The current offense calls for a mandatory jail sentence and I just need to know if the judge will have the authority to issue House Arrest instead...
