Legal Question in DUI Law in Iowa

ok, so i had a DUI, then i missed my court date. forgot about it. was shortly then after arrested from at my house and hauled in for failure to appear, was released on bail then i went to my hearing. and we had my son. then i forgot about my sentancing.. what should i do? just go turn myself in? or is there a way i can save some tail on this forgetful rear?

by the way this is my first offence. i blew a .23 so no chance for fighting. i just want to get through this as fast as i can and as painlessly as i can. i've been sober since the date i was arrested and have a had a substance abuse evaluation done.

I would say, turn yourself in, or risk getting popped and having it happen not on your own terms. There's no way this is going to be easy, but I think you know that.
