Hi guys, I was hoping someone could give me an insight in to what to expect in court...here’s an outline of my case:
I was out with a friend having a few drinks which escalated into an argument. The argument had escalated and he had phoned the police saying he was worried I was going to drive home. They came and spoke to him during which I had gotten in to the back of my car (the car was unlocked- I didn’t have the keys at the time, my friend had taken them off me) and sat down, they then came over warned me not to stay away from my car whilst under the influence & to either stay at a hotel or somewhere else.
After which I had made an effort to call another friend to ask if I could stay over but got no answer. The argument between me and my friend continued. I then I got my keys unlocked the car and put my bag in the back and went to sleep in the drivers seat. The police came ten mins after and breathalised me; I blew 84 roadside and 64 in custody. Im being charged with drunk in charge and will plead guilty as although at that time my intention wasn’t to drive, I know that what I did was as wrong especially after being warned. I Am super worried and genuinely remorseful of what had happend. The argument, my actions, my behaviour - all toxic. I’ve got no previous convictions, work in healthcare, can provide good character references and attending therapy for anger management. Can anyone give any insight into what to potentially expect sentencing wise at court?
