QUESTION
Will my girlfriend go to jail for 2 DUI's? Will her license be revoked?
Asked on May 28th, 2013 on DUI/DWI - Washington
More details to this question:
My girlfriend got a driving under the influence charge about 5 years ago and just got got another in October. She made a plea agreement to drop the charge to a Reckless and to get an ignition interlock device and do 90 days home monitoring. Part of her deal is also that she is to abstain from alcohol. She just went on a bender and said she failed her ignition interlock device at least 3-4 times, not to mention she had received multiple warnings a few days previous. She's fulfilled her house arrest already. I'm in Washington.

If the court learns of her use of alcohol, they will likely consider it a violation of her probation. This type of violation does not usually re-suspend someone's license, but the judge could impose jail or other sanctions. Some courts do not base violations on positive IID readings, others do.
