There is a coworker I loathe. I found a handy online database where I could look up arrest records. He has been arrested on two occasions, about a week apart. First time was for drunkeness & profanity. Second time was for DWI, two counts of possession (marijuana), and refusal to take a breathalyzer. What would have been the best/worst outcomes for this guy? I'm fairly certain he didn't go to prison, as we've been working on the same "team" since the time of his arrest. How hard (and expensive) is it to avoid prison for those charges?
Those wouldn't even be misdemeanors if he had a decent lawyer. The biggest offense is refusal of a breathalyzer.
