The charge of Driving Under the Influence requires that individuals fulfill certain requirements prior to reporting to court for sentencing. This includes but is not limited to the following:
- Completion of a Court Reporting Network Evaluation (CRN)
- Completion of a comprehensive drug and alcohol assessment; if required
- Completion of house arrest orientation; if required
- The Department provides electronic monitoring supervision for those offenders as an alternative to incarceration. Offenders may be ordered to the program as an intermediate punishment, as a condition of early release or furlough from prison, as an intermediate graduated sanction for violation of community supervision requirements, or on bail supervision
- Offenders are monitored by a system of surveillance called global positioning. The probation officer is notified of any violations such as leave alerts. Field visits and surveillance are integral components of the program, as is random field testing.
- While on house arrest, offenders are required to submit a weekly schedule
After completion of the preliminary hearing, it is required that offenders watch the presentation entitled Preparing your case for your Arraignment Hearing. This presentation will answer any questions pertaining to what must be completed prior to your arraignment court date.
