Pop Singer Pleads Guilty To Reckless Driving In DUI Case
Pop singer Taylor Dayne has pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge in connection with her March 6 arrest in Beverly Hills, the Associated Press reports. A Beverly Hills Superior Court Judge sentenced Dayne to two years probation and completed a Mothers Against Drunk Driving program.
Dayne was at first charged with driving under the influence, but prosecutors decided later that the reckless driving charge was more appropriate.
What happened to this pop singer is usually what happens in a first-time DUI offense. First-time offenders who are convicted will usually receive probation or alternative sentencing such as community service or counseling. If you have been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs for the first time, it is very important that you contact an experienced drunk driving defense attorney as soon as possible.
A lot of people do not realize that they only have 10 days to request a DMV hearing after a DUI arrest. Scheduling that DMV hearing and what happens at that hearing could determine whether or not you can keep your drivers license. Even a misdemeanor DUI can bring a DMV license suspension and can change your life. If you lose your license you could lose your job, your independence and your financial security.
Don’t let this happen to you. If you or someone you know has been charged with DUI, please call the Law Office of Stephen Brodsky for a complimentary consultation.
