What is the max sentence for a felony 3 fleeing and eluding while driving on a DUI suspended license and on probation?
Asked on Apr 08th, 2017 on Criminal Law - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
I fled from the cops in high speed chase. They never caught me but new me and my car so they issued a felony 3 fleeing and eluding warrant along with other charges.
The maximum allowable sentence for a felony 3 is 7 years. A fist time 1543 b, driving under a DUI suspended license, is punishable by 60 days in jail, a $500 fine and a one year driver's license suspension. Normally, people are not sentenced to the statutory max but to a sentence within the sentencing guidelines. Without more information I can only guess this person is looking at anywhere from 60 days of house arrest and probation, to a county jail sentence under 11.5 months.
