Getting jail time for a first time DUI is rare for anyone
“Getting jail time for a first time DUI is rare for anyone”
It depends on the state. In Georgia, first-timers face a mandatory minimum 24 hours in jail before they can be bailed out plus a $300 fine.
In PA you need one prior DUI to get jail time. She was also driving without a license and had drugs in the car. I am not sure what the penalties are for those offenses.
