How to get out of jail when arrested for a DUI DWI in Minnesota?
Once you are arrested for a DWI/DUI, you may either be held in custody or booked and released, depending on the circumstances. Generally, if you are being charged with a misdemeanor DWI/DUI, you will be booked and released.
However, if your BAC is .16 or higher, or if you have prior DWI/DUI convictions, you could find yourself in a situation that requires you be held in custody until a judge sets bail. In these situations, if you don’t want to sit in jail until you are scheduled for court, you must hire an attorney.
That attorney can then attempt to get in touch with the prosecutor and a judge to request a bail be set. If they are successful, they can then get you in touch with a bond company to assist you in posting the bail. The experienced attorneys at Gerald Miller P.A. are available 24/7 for situations just like this.
If you or a loved one find themselves stuck in jail for a DWI, give us a call to discuss the situation and get started on working towards getting bail set.
