    You should get a copy of it for divorce proceedings

    Unless she's clearly a harm to herself or others or a threat of taking off, bail is typically granted and can range anywhere from a promisary signature to return for her hearing up to serious amounts of money. It all depends on many factors.

    Arrest/incident reports are public knowledge. Unless sealed. It's how we always know when celebrities do bad stuff.

    If you want to PM me her name I'll see what I can dig up if anything has been filed.

    The initial responses are correct that the arraignment is advising of charges and entering a plea of guilty or not guilty. She should get a lawyer if the punishment sought is severe, ie jail.

    If you are still married, be wary of being stuck on the hook for her fines, or any other financial obligation. If she is not in custody then the bail is probably low or nothing.

    You may be able to use facts from this proceeding in your divorce, but it may only be relevant to child custody. Of course the flip side is she may claim being a drunk is a disability, she cannot work and you should support her. Thus, be careful and get a lawyer yourself.

    Our caseworker at DHS knows nothing about it yet. I wonder if I should let her know. Shouldn't hurt me in any way.

    If she went to detox, she received a summons along the way there. She was released to the custody of the detox on her signature on the summons, so no bail required and it usually is a cold day in hell if the judge will order it after the fact on a misdemeanor.

    As others have said, she will go and hear the charges against her (on the summons) and meet with the ADA for a preliminary meeting (plea bargains are usually discussed here). She then can: 1). plead not guilty and set the matter for trial; 2). plead guilty to either the original or amended (plea bargained) charges; or 3). request a continuation of the hearing in order to consult with an attorney prior to making a plea.

    You can get a copy of the police report if you wish for your own read and potential use for divorce/custody issues. All closed cases are available for public record.

    Good luck to you.

    One guy nailed it....also if she is looking at time and trying to delay it going in without a lawyer is the way to go because the judge will almost always grant a continuence so you can go find one
