For most people, spending even a day in jail for any charge is serious. Many people don't realize that a Los Angeles DUI charge can lead to more than just a fine or a license suspension; even celebrities can spend time in jail over a Los Angeles DUI arrest.
Jani Lane, the former lead singer of the band Warrant, will have to spend two days in jail after pleading "no contest" to a misdemeanor DUI charge in Woodland Hills. Lane was charged for both a DUI and a hit and run in Woodland Hills, when he hit a parked car last month. This Los Angeles DUI charge will find Mr. Lane spending 48 hours in jail. After he gets out of jail, Lane must serve 36 months probation, do three months of alcohol education classes and complete 30 days of Caltrans road work. He also has to pay over $395 U.S. (about $ Canadian) in fines. Should he fail to pay, he will have to serve a further 13 days in jail.
Jani Lane was the front man for Warrant for over fifteen years and was attempting to go solo until an alcohol addiction caused him to check into rehab.
Los Angeles DUI defense attorneys often represent people like Mr. Lane who find themselves in difficult situations after a battle with an addiction. However, unlike Mr. Lane, if someone charged with a Los Angeles DUI goes to prison, they could lose their job, respect in the community and more. Rock stars are almost expected to get into terrible situations and get arrested, but they do not exactly work 9-5 jobs. The average person who has responsibilities and background checks cannot afford to spend even an hour behind bars.
