If you ask me they should have nailed him with the fine. A DWI carries a larger punishment than 3 bomb threats to an airline
He should also be flagged and never allowed to travel on any air carrier again.
Texas DWI
First Offense:
* up to a $2,000 fine
* 72 hours to 180 days in jail
* driver’s license suspension: 90 days to 1 year
Second Offense:
* up to a $4,000 fine
* 30 days to 1 year in jail
* driver’s license suspension: 180 days to 2 years
Third Offense:
* up to a $10,000 fine
* 2 to 10 years in penitentiary
* driver’s license suspension: 180 days to 2 years
This doesn't even include the lawyer costs and cost associated with getting your license back. 3 bomb threats to an airline causing it to come back and you get probabtion. Three DWIs and you get 2-10yrs prison and will lose out more than this guy was forced to pay.
