Am I looking at mandatory jail time on first dui with hitand run

Russell Thomas Kirshy
Answered by attorney Russell Thomas Kirshy (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Russell T. Kirshy Attorney at Law
It sounds like you have been arrested for two misdemeanor offenses.  While I don't believe there is any mandatory jail sentence required for these offenses, you should really speak to an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.  Some counties may want jail time due to the hit and run.  If this occurred in Lee, Hendry, Charlotte, Desoto, Sarasota or Manatee counties, you can call my office and I will be happy to discuss it with you.

Can I be charged with a DUI if the keys were outside of the car and the arresting officer smelled?

Answered by attorney Robert E McCall (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office of Robert E. McCall
Florida law doesn't care about the keys. Our statute says if a person is in "actual physical control" of the vehicle they can be arrested for DUI. Sleeping in the back seat of a car, keys with someone else a person can be arrested and found guilty. Unfair? Yes, talk to the democrats in the legislature they passed the law and block any changes.

How long will my boy friend be locked up for failure to appear in court for DUI?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
That will depend on the number of factors including how his particular judge handles those types of situations. They could keep him locked up until his case is resolved. Make sure he has an experienced DUI attorney representing him as this is a serious charge.
