She won't resign. Only people with real shame resign. She would require handcuffs and a jail sentence first. What are her stances on 1st offender DUI? Mandatory sentences etc.??

1st time?

Im not a lawyer but I do know that its "normal" for a first time offender with an otherwise clean record to get a 6 month drivers license suspension (occupational permit possible), a small fine, and a mandatory psych evalutation to determine whether it was "obviously" an isolated incident, if short term individual counciling is necessary to determine if there is a greater problem, or if group therapy is required.

Note that DUI is a traffic violation like speeding not a "crime" as in misdemeanor/felony, so this event could go through a hefty spin cycle here.
