A Breakdown of My Punishment

So all said and done, here is a breakdown of my penalties.  I've divided it into "Court-Ordered" and "MVD" to signify who is requiring what.  Although the only dollar amount I give here is the initial $3,500 that I had to pay the court, be aware that EVERYTHING else costs money.  For your convenience I have included a separate post on a breakdown of how much money I have spent on this whole nightmare.

Court-Ordered

• Pay $3,500 in court fees
• Six days in Tent City
• This was broken up into 48 straight hours, then 4 days of "work release".  During work release, I am released from Tent City at 6am, and I must return at 6pm and spend the night there.  
• Twenty-four days of Home Detention
• This began immediately after my time in Tent City is over.  It's not a coincedence that I have 6 days jail and 24 days home monitoring.  The cumulative 30 days equals my "30 days jail time".  Please skip to the post labeled "Home Detention" for more information about this.
• Alcohol Screening/ Classes
• This one hour screening told me how many hours I would need to do of substance abuse classes.  I was assigned 16 hours, which comes out to (2) 8 hour classes- a weekend.

MVD

• Suspension of driver's license for 30 days
• Restricted license for 60 days
• With a restricted license, I am able to drive to work and to legal/court ordered appointments and classes- but that is all.
• Installation of Ignition Interlock Device for 12 months.
• Must attend Traffic Survival School
