I live in Joplin Mo.. My husband pled to a BAC 26 years ago. In the fall of 2008 he did get a DUI. Can they bring up and use such an old offense against him now? He also was on the way home from hunting and had a shotgun without a slug in it,,, and loaded. they dropped the felony gun charge but are not being clear on the rest. The other thing was 26 YEARS ago. He has done satop, sr-22, the interlock device. WE are confused about whether they can use the old charge in such a harsh way and, what it means when they say " to reinstate your privlege to drive you must send all this stuff in before your suspension/revocation period ends. When is that date? How do we find out? Are we going to pay sr-22 when we don't need it? For Gods sake,, they took his lisence!!! We are very confused here.

Get a lawyer!! If it isn�t too late already, your husband needs an attorney immediately. He should have filed a lawsuit to have the old DWI conviction expunged, which would mean the 2008 arrest would be treated as a first conviction, not a second. If he�s already pleaded guilty or been found guilty on the second one, it�s probably too late.
