$3,000 DUI fine + 10 days jail for State Representative's Aggravated DUI
San Diego criminal defense attorney news
Rep. Trish Groe, R- Lake Havasu City, was sentenced to 10 days in jail and fined $2,950 for DUI / Drunk Driving / DWI driving under the influence at a hearing Monday afternoon in Parker.
In a DUI / Drunk Driving / DWI plea agreement, Gore pleaded guilty to misdemeanor DUI. She originally faced one felony count of aggravated DUI and a misdemeanor charge of false reporting to a police officer. She will serve her sentence in Maricopa County Jail.
Groe was arrested March 22 on suspicion of DUI / Drunk Driving / DWI in Parker.
The DUI / Drunk Driving / DWI case has taken many twists and turns since her arrest nearly nine months ago. Her DUI / Drunk Driving / DWI case started out in La Paz County, where she was arrested, then transferred to Yuma County prosecutors, who then sent it back after the La Paz County attorney criticized a proposed DUI / Drunk Driving / DWI plea deal in which Gore would have served one day in jail on a misdemeanor charge.
The La Paz County attorney then hired a DUI / Drunk Driving / DWI special prosecutor who worked out the DUI / Drunk Driving / DWI plea agreement.
