Charges: Fleeing in a Motor Vehicle – Felony; DWI-Refusal – Gross Misdemeanor
Resolution:
Plea to a gross misdemeanor DWI-Refusal and the felony count is dismissed. Additionally, the sentence called for no jail, a minimal fine, and merely staying on track with treatment and programming already engaged in. Considering he was facing a felony fleeing charge, avoiding a felony and any custody is remarkable. This outcome also ensured he would have the high-priced vehicle returned to him and not lose his license (and not able to use ignition interlock) because of the fleeing charge. Overall, a truly fantastic result for a client that was thrilled to have Mr. Gempeler and the North Star fighting for him.
