Question

I got a drinking ticket in peoria illinois, then roughly 3-5 months later got another one in naperville while i was on court supervision for my last ticket....should i contact a lawyer?

Answer 1

The worst case situation would be a re-sentence on the original charge - not likely.

They will take into account o this ticket you were on supervison for another - you will probably be found guilty and fined

Answer 2

I would assume that part of your court supervision is to notify your probation officer of any contact with law enforcement or any new arrests.  A ticket is considered an arrest so I would suggest you call them.  They will find out and it would be better for them to hear it from you then to find out another way.  Then, I would call a lawyer. If you can't go without drinking for a period of time while you are on supervision, you have a problem.  

Answer 3

You will do jail time, at least 6 months.  Are you going to kill someone before you stop your illegal behavior?  Thank God you will also lose your license.

Answer 4

You should contact a lawyer.
