A Milton school committee member received a hardship license and a minimal sentence, just days after admitting there is sufficient evidence to find him guilty of a Massachusetts drunk driving charge, according to the Patriot Ledger.

Hiring a Milton drunk driving (OUI/DUI) attorney can make a big difference in the penalty for violating Massachusetts drunk driving laws. A Milton drunk driving defense lawyer can often work to reduce the penalty, particularly for a first-offense Massachusetts drunk driving charge.

In this case, the defendant admitted sufficient facts in Quincy District Court, apologized and said he will not resign from the school committee.

The veteran school committee member reached an agreement with prosecutors at his Jan. 4 arraignment; the case was continued without a finding of guilt, and he was placed on one year of supervised probation and had his license suspended for 45 days. Two days later, he was issued a hardship license, allowing him to drive between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

He was arrested new Year's Day with a blood-alcohol level more than three times the legal limit.
