if a person is arrested on a warrant after a traffic stop then held n that county for a different jurisdiction for a charge that started as operating while intoxicated, what would the most likely outcome of the case be after the transfer was made to the original arresting county & about how long would the entire process take?
1 Answer from Attorneys
The fact that the accused had a warrant and had not appeared to answer for the Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated (OVWI) charge may result in a higher bond on that matter since the court may have doubts about the likelihood that they will appear in the future. As for the likely outcome there are too many variables to accurately predict an outcome. You should consult an attorney who can review the facts of the case and advise how to proceed. However most OVWIs are class A misdemeanors and carry up to 365 days in jail and significant fines and costs along with a suspension of your driver�s license for a period of time.
