From the Coruts - State District Court: Man resentenced on revoked DUI suspended sentence

Milton E. Garcia was sentenced to three years with credit for most of that already served for violating conditions of his suspended sentence on a driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Judge Kaydee Snipes Ruiz sentenced Garcia in state District Court in Havre, Thursday, to the three years with the state Department of Corrections and credited him with 866 days street time and 26 days served.

Garcia pleaded guilty in a plea agreement in June 2016 to his fourth DUI, which is a felony, and to a misdemeanor charge of driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license. He was sentenced on the felony to 13 months with the DOC followed by three years suspended.

The Hill County Attorney filed a petition to revoke his suspended sentence in November for allegations Great Falls police arrested him on suspicion of partner or family member assault and he was cited for criminal possession of marijuana and for striking a detention officer.

June 1, he admitted in state District Court in Havre to committing the violations of conditions of his release.
