A Holmes Beach man caught drunken driving has been ordered to spend 25 days in a work program.
Jason Benn, 40, pleaded no contest Nov. 21 to driving under the influence with a prior conviction.
A 12th Circuit judge found Benn guilty and sentenced him to 12 months of probation.
Judge Charles Sniffin suspended Benn’s driver’s license for one year, assessed him $3,666 in court costs and ordered his vehicle impounded for 10 days.
The sentence also requires that Benn complete an advanced DUI course, a victim-impact panel and 50 hours of public service work.
Holmes Beach police stopped Benn May 1 for speeding on a motorcycle — 65 mph in a 25-mph zone in the 5200 block of Marina Drive — and arrested him for driving impaired, according to a police report.
Benn’s offender work program will begin Dec. 30. The program is an alternative to a jail sentence in which offenders perform various labor activities for the community.
