Contempt of court for probation violation in WY
Question Details: I just received a notice to appear in court, but my court date has passed. The notice was a failure to pay my fine for a DUI and now there is a bench warrant out for me for a contempt of court. I have no other probation violations and have completed all other requirements of my probation. IT was my first DUI. What will be my most likely penaly if I go in and pay ASAP?
DUI / DWI Law Answers
You could be facing a couple of day in jail. It all depends on the judge. What you should do is to hire an attorney that specializes in DUI cases. Find one the practices in the area of the court; they will have local contacts and can best make arrangements for you "turn yourself in". With any luck you will just pay the fine and be let off with a stern warning.
Whatever you do, do it ASAP.
