Lindsay’s possible punishment

July 24, 2007

If convicted on her latest arrest:

“California has a DUI / DWI “washout” period of 10 years, calculated from arrest date to arrest date. This means that anyone arrested for drunk or drug driving within 10 years of the last arrest date will be charged with a second offense, with increased penalties and punishment. The punishment in court for a second or third drunk driving conviction is much harsher than for a first offense – a multiple-offense drunk driving conviction carries mandatory jail time, an 18-month alcohol education program, a required ignition interlock device (such as Smart Start).”

Her court date is set for August 24th at 8:30 a.m. Also, Lindsay is set to appear in court the same day for her Memorial Day weekend DUI!
