So yeah I'm feeling bad that she's having to sit in jail, but it should do her a little bit of good.

Really it should, don't feel too bad, she has every means to be responsible and now you are going out of your way to bail her out.

it's more than i would have done.

At least this time, you don't have to date your sister...

Aww... I wouldn't feel too bad. If I had the money to bail one of my sisters out for drunk driving, I wouldn't for a couple of hours. I would want them sitting in there to reflect on the stupidity of the act...

Of course, I have no shame... like Trebs... lmao.. I love you.

You're too nice. I'd leave my sister in for at least a week. Learn her a proper lesson.

I'd move heaven and earth to get my sister out as fast as I could, because that's what I'd want her to do if it was me. Sounds like you did the same thing, and it just took you longer than you hoped. If the delay gave her time for helpful introspection, so be it. But the thought of leaving someone I love in jail to "teach them a lesson" when I could get them out for a couple of hundred bucks, well, that's not in my make-up.

You make me proud boy.

I'm with Mark on this one. I particularly felt sorry for her when you mentioned that you had no way of letting her know you were working on getting her out. Poor thing mush have been really scared and sad not knowing what was going on. So is she out yet?

So my sister is in jail. Apparently she had a DWI and also got a ticket for hitting an object on the highway and failing to stop. Which probably means she hit a cone or something and the cop pulled her over and found that she was drunk.

 

She called me at 8 this morning asking me to come bail her out and not tell my parents. Well that's hard to do when I don't get paid until Friday and don't have the money. So my brother and I called just about everyone we could trying to find the bail money to get her out. We finally found it, but now we have to wait for a judge to SET her bail before we can go get the bond. And that won't be until 'this afternoon' they said.

You're lucky that you can get her out as quick as bail is set, the next day. In California, DWI offenders are held for a minimum of 48 hours...then bail is set, and it usually takes their families another 3-4 days to make bail...so they're in for a week, easily. If she is still living with your parents, there's no reason they shouldn't know, especially if they're going to be receiving mail in their mailbox from the court system.

And, since you and your friends are making her bail, you all now have a vested financial interest in making sure she goes to her court dates.

So yeah I'm feeling bad that she's having to sit in jail, but it should do her a little bit of good.

Chris, the sitting will do her some good, hopefully, but hope that your words never come back to haunt you. It's not a fun place to wake up--it made my mom go into the St. Joseph's Hospital detox program the day she was released from the drunk tank in 1978...and they stopped her 2 blocks (1 minute) from home.

I still haven't been able to get her out. I've been up for almost 24 hours trying non-stop to get her out, but the bail bondsman I'm going through is f**king me over every step of the way and making it damn near impossible.

The most recent being that he insisted I needed my parents signature on the bond because it was such a high value (instead of the $500-$1000 quote, it was $5500 instead, making it a $575 bond). Well I finally broke down, called them up and confessed everything to them just so I could get her out, and right as I get off the phone with them, the bondsman calls and tells me it needs to be someone local instead. Meaning my parents who live in Missouri can't do it.

So right now they're doing some type of background check on my GM. I'm hoping they'll call back soon and say everything went through. Because they're pricks and it's about god damn time.

I've been up for almost 24 hours, I slept 3 hours the night before, and I can't sleep before I have to work a 13 hour shift.

Oh how wonderful my life is...

It could be worse. It could be you in jail.

JSmith, at this point, get some sleep...does she have AAA? Let them post her bond for her. You get some sleep.

Sorry to hear that, do get some sleep. I can almost assure you she probably won't repeat after the 'wonderful, embarrassing experience' she just had! Funny, if she had been a celebrity, she would have been released that night! Huh! Take care, hope all goes well!

Is she out yet?
