DWI with open container carries a minimum of five days and jail up to 180 days (if the person has no prior DWI convictions), Interfering with Public Duties (there is no charge of Obstructing a Peace Officer) carries from1 day to 180 days in jail, and Resisting Arrest carries from 1 day to 1 year in jail. If all these charges occurred at the same time, they will likely run concurrent. You need to speak to a local criminal defense attorney to understand what punishment is likely given the specific facts of your case.
