No Contest Plea to DUI granted to Boylan

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Robert Michael Boylan, Jefferson County School District’s director of transportation pleaded no contest to a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) case against him. The deal was accepted by Gail Boober, Jefferson County Magistrate to keep Boylan out of jail.

According to his attorney, Harley O. Wagner, the plea doesn’t have any effect on Boylan’s job. In fact he’s still working as the school district’s director of transportation. However, Boober warned Boylan that he should not expect any mercy if he returns to court on his second DUI offense. In West Virginia DUI second-time offenders get a jail sentence of one year plus fines, while third-time offenders are charged with felony and convicted to a state prison jail sentence of one to three years.

Boober also ordered Boylan to pay $270 in court costs and $300 fine aside from his $3,500 bond. According to court records, the latter was pulled over because Sgt. George Manning of Charles Town Police Department saw an expired registration plate on his white Chrysler.

Then, Manning noticed that Boylan’s speech was slurred and the breath smelled like alcohol. In addition, Boylan also failed the heel-to-toe field sobriety test. His preliminary breath test showed blood alcohol level (BAC) of .159%, which is almost double compared to the .08% allowable limit.

Wagner said that he tried to convince Boylan to go to trial after the hearing. However, Boylan decided to take the plea at the last minute, and Wagner respected his client’s wish.
