Tamaqua Crime

Was stopped on 09/29/11 due to expired registration plates. My license had been suspended in 2008 due to DUI offense, and had completed outpatient treatment, paid the correct fines and was currently waiting to have our D.O.T to advise where to have Interlock ignition placed. During the traffic stop, car was parked at shopping center parking lot, was moved onto main highway where officer was waiting for vehicle to be moved and stopped .5 miles up the street. I was mailed summons of 75 pa 1543(b), 75 pa 1786(f) and 75 pa 1301 (a); and was advised by court to set payment plan in motion. however, contacted today to be advised that 1543(b) carries mandatory jail time and fines, and to plea 'not guilty' and hire public defender by the magistrate's office.

You are looking at a mandatory 60-90 days jail sentence if convicted. The law states that once suspended for DUI, then...

Hi my name is Ashlee. I live in Pennsylvania. I was convicted of a DUI back in 2008. Well I was put on ARD and screwed the ARD program up because I didn't finish it. Anyway, I was just resentenced December 26th, 2012 and the judge gave me a thousand dollar fine plus house arrest costs and court costs. I never paid my fine off from when I was sentenced before because I wasn't working. I just received my fine statement in the mail and it says I owe $3,900!!! And I dnt work or have any income.I have been looking for jobs for months and haven't had any luck. So my question is, Is that right that I have to pay both fines??I didn't think it was because its for the same crime/DUI. I don't know what I can do. I also have to pay for house arrest with no income! Please Help! I don't know what to do!

The shame of it is that you were unable to complete ARD and your lawyer was unable to get you back into the program...

Got arrested in Florida for driving without a licence he skipped out on Parole in pa (4and half yr ) all was for haibitual offender DUI

If I understand your question correctly, your friend was sentenced to a term of imprisonment as a result of a DUI...

DO U THINK I WILL GET JAIL TIME?

If you are convicted of the second offense with a refusal, PA law provides for a mandetory minimum sentence of 90 Days...

Parole violation for leaving the state. is now being charged with "fugitive of justice" in Florida. All charges are misdemeanors.

Unfortunately, there is no set amount of time that is standard, but typically within 30 days. Good Luck.

I was pulled over and got in trouble for driving with a suspended license. My license was suspended 4 years ago because I had received a D.u.I. I had received a letter saying I could get my license back if I could pay my court fines for d.u.I but I didn't have the money to do that. So I'm not sure if my license was technically suspended or not. I am currently dealing with the d.u.I also because I was on the ARD program and failed to finish it so I have to start all over again basically. I was in jail for 2 days and it was horrible. I have a 3 year old son and my fiancee is on disability for mental problems so I am very worried that I will go back to jail. On my summons it says I will be facing 60-90 days of jail for driving with a suspended license so I am scared out of my mind.Please help

You MUST plead not guilty and request a court date. Pleading guilty means pleading GUILTY. And a Driving Under...

shouldn't that suspension already been served. i only don't have my license because of my unpaid fines. i actually think it is revoked because of un paid fines.

Unless and until your operating privileges have been restored you may be charged under Section 1543(b) Driving Under...
