Chicago, IL asked in DUI / DWI for Illinois

Q: My boyfriend got charged with a DUI and they let him keep his DL and he didn't need to pay to get out of jail?

Is it okay for them to let him have his DL? And not charged to get out of jail? I usually know that they take your driver license away and you gotta pay a fine but he didn't? I just wanna know if these actions are correct.

A: I'm not sure what happened. Yes they usually arrest you. You should hire a local criminal defense attorney to get ahead of the DUI allegation.
