One And Done For The DWI Groom

Billy Puckett, the groom that was arrested on his wedding day for DWI in Houston, plead guilty on Friday, on his first court date. Mr. Puckett received the standard probation for a first time offender, a one year probation, a small fine, and community service. Curiously, he was also ordered to have an ignition interlock installed in his vehicle.
While it is uncommon for a person on bond to enter a guilty plea on their first court appearance it is still up to the client to make that decision. As you may imagine, a DWI case usually takes several court settings before it is settled. Perhaps, Mr. Puckett wanted to put this sad affair to an end as quickly as possible.
Here is hoping that Mr. Puckett successfully completes his probation and enjoys a long happy marriage! I am sure that he will never forget his wedding date for several reasons.
