My question involves criminal law for the state of: Iowa
Recently put on probation, followed rules so far..but can't quit drinking..I got drunk one day after babysitting my nephews and another relative came over after I woke up from being passed out..She started arguing w/me and I argued back..she clawed me in the face and broke my glasses..I try to restrain her and in the process lightly smack her cheeks and push her into a wall..cops get called I get arrested, got out the next day didn't drink all day..couldn't see w/out my glasses and stumbling everywhere got food from 2 blocks away, came back home a cop showed up and told me someone reported me as being "stumbly" while walking down the street..didn't write down what the breathalizer result was on the ticket...a bench warrant was put out and I went to jail, served 2 and a half days then got bailed out..now I have court next monday for the probation violation..any suggestions or anything at all (feedback) would be appreciated..oh the female was a minor as well...help anyone..can I ask my attorney to seek a treatment program instead of jail time? I can't stand jail it drives me up the wall...thank you anyone
