COUNT I
I, the undersigned Defendant, have carefully read and fully understand the following:
I am charged with OPERATING A MOTOR V E H I C L E WHILE INTOXICATED - 1ST
OFFENSE, in violation of Iowa Code Section 321J.2, a Serious Misdemeanor, and I hereby
request that my plea of guilty to the charge be entered of record.
A. The maximum punishment for a Serious Misdemeanor is imprisonment of not more than one
year injail and a mandatory fine of not more than $1,250.00, plus statutory surcharges, plus
court costs and all costs and fees incurred for legal assistance which is immediately due on
the date of sentencing unless a payment plan is approved by the Court within thirty days of
the judgment date. I realize that, if there was no personal or property injury, and I present to
the Court a temporary restricted license, the Court may waive up to $625 of the fine and the
related statutory surcharge.
I acknowledge that, the Court may order me to perform
community service work, if the Court is of the opinion that community service work will
deter and discourage others from similar criminal activity. The community service must be
done for a governmental or non-profit agency. (The rate at which community service shall be
calculated against my fine shall be the federal minimum wage.) In addition, I may be
required to pay correctional fees for incarceration and enrollment fees for probation. I am
aware that sentencing options may include deferral of Judgment and Sentence, the grant of
probation and the suspension of the sentence imposed.
There is a minimum penalty of imprisonment in jail for 48 hours, which must be imposed
unless I am eligible for a deferred judgment, or deferred sentence.
The Court must order me to attend a course for drinking drivers.
The Court must order me to undergo a substance abuse evaluation and to follow the
recommendations.
The Court may order me to participate in a reality education substance abuse prevention
program.
The Court may order restitution to any victim of my offense. In addition, the Court may
order restitution up to $500 each to any public agency (fire-fighting, law enforcement,
ambulance, medical or any other emergency services), which responded as a result of my
violation.
The Court finds that there has been no personal injury as a result of my actions,
and
The Court finds that there has been no property damage as a result of my actions,
and
I present a temporary restricted license within the time ordered by the Court.
I understand I must complete a substance abuse evaluation at my own expense before I
can be sentenced. I will provide the evaluation to the Court before I am sentenced.
B. I understand that a criminal conviction, deferred judgment or deferred sentence may affect
my status under federal immigration laws.
C. If I plead not guilty, I would be entitled to the following rights. I give up these rights by
pleading guilty:
(1) . The right to a speedy and public trial by a jury of twelve people.
(2) . The right to have an attorney represent me at trial and, if the Court found I was unable to
afford an attorney, the Court would, at public expense, appoint an attorney to represent me.
(3) . At trial, I would be presumed innocent until such time, if ever, the State established my
guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
(4) . At trial, a jury verdict of guilty would have to be unanimous.
(5) . At trial, I would have the privilege against self-incrimination, that is, I cannot be forced
to testify, and if I choose not to testify, the State may not comment on the fact of my failure to
testify and, at my request, I would be entitled to a jury instruction stating that the jury could
not infer guilt from my failure to testify.
(6) . At trial, the State would have to confront me with witnesses upon whose testimony it
relied to obtain conviction, and I would have the right to cross examine those witnesses.
(7) . At trial, I would be entitled to present witnesses to testify on my behalf and to
compulsory process to secure those witnesses.
D. By pleading guilty, there will not be a trial of any kind. By pleading guilty, I waive my right
to trial, and will be treated as i f i had been tried and found guilty by a jury.
E. The Court, in determining whether there is a factual basis for this plea of guilty, may make
such a determination by examining the Minutes of Testimony attached to the Trial
Information, by reviewing the investigative reports of law enforcement agents who have
investigated the offense, or by asking me or counsel to recite and summarize the material
facts that would be offered at trial.
The Court has the discretion to accept or reject any plea agreement made between the State
and myself. The plea agreement is: I will plead to Count I: Operating a Motor Vehicle
While Intoxicated, 1 Offense. The County Attorney will recommend a Deferred Judgment.
I will follow the recommendation of the Substance Abuse Evaluation, which I have been
ordered by the Court to obtain. I will be placed on probation to the Sac County Probation
Officer for a period of one vear from the Judgment date. I will pay a Civil Penalty, to the
State Court Administrator, in the amount of $1,250.00 and court costs; to be paid as approved
in the Sac County Probation Agreement. If I obtain a temporary restricted license to drive, the
Civil Penalty will be reduced to $625.00. I will complete a 12-hour Prime for Life course or
similar program within three (3) months of this date.
st
This plea agreement includes that I will be responsible to pay court costs, payment of all
costs and fees incurred for legal assistance, victim restitution, correction (jail) fee for any jail
time and all surcharges and mandatory punishments (see paragraph B) applicable to my case.
F. I now state to the Court that I am, in fact GUILTY and that no threats or promises have been
made to induce me to enter my plea of guilty. I have been informed that the elements of the
crime are: that I operated a motor vehicle (1) while under the influence of an alcoholic
beverage or other drug or a combination of such substances; or (2) while having an
alcohol concentration of .08 or more; or (3) while any amount of a controlled substance
is present in my person as measured in my blood or urine. I understand the nature of
the charge against me.
This offense was committed by me in Sac County Iowa by my doing the following: I did on
or about December 2, 2014 unlawfully operate a motor vehicle while under the
influence of alcohol and was intoxicated at the time when I was driving and did have a
blood alcohol concentration of .123 (BAC).
I hereby state that I submit this written plea of guilty with full knowledge and waiver of my rights
and I do so freely and voluntarily. No threats have been made against me to obtain this guilty
plea. No promises of leniency or favorable treatment have been made, except for any plea
agreement disclosed to the Court at the time of this guilty plea.
G. If the Court accepts my plea of guilty, I realize:
(1). The Court will set a sentencing date not less than fifteen days after the date of its
acceptance of this guilty plea unless I waive this right. In order to contest this plea of guilty, I
must file a Motion in Arrest of Judgment at least five days prior to sentencing. The right to
file a Motion in Arrest of Judgment will be waived by having the Court impose a sentence
today.
(2). If the Court imposes a sentence today, I will never be able to challenge this plea of
guilty, and I will be giving up my right to directly appeal my guilty plea.
. I ask the Court to accept this plea of guilty. I waive the preceding rights and my right to have
the Court address me personally.

penalty; and
