Man convicted of DWI with child is sentenced to two years’ state-jail term, probated
Summary
Christopher Mariscal pleaded no-contest to driving while intoxicated with a child under 15 and was sentenced to two years in a state-jail facility, suspended and probated for two years, with fines, ignition interlock, parenting classes and community-service reductions tied to program completion.
SAN ANTONIO — Christopher Mariscal pleaded no-contest in the 187th District Court to driving while intoxicated with a child under 15 and was sentenced Thursday to two years in a state-jail facility, suspended and placed on community supervision for two years.
Judge Stephanie Boyd accepted stipulations and evidence in lieu of live testimony and set a $1,500 fine, ignition interlock for half the probation term, standard reporting and regular random urine analyses. The court also ordered parenting classes and said 50 hours of the court-ordered 100 hours of community service restitution would be waived on completion of parenting classes; additional reductions can be earned through sober-support meeting attendance.
Defense counsel described Mariscal's compliance on bond and sought probation; the court emphasized the seriousness of the charge because a juvenile was in the car. The judge also set a 180-day driver’s license suspension and restrictions on certain employment (no home health or work with minors) as part of conditions.
Ending: Mariscal was allowed to remain in the community under supervision with a mix of treatment, monitoring and educational requirements designed to address the conduct that led to the charge.
