I, the undersigned Defendant, have carefully read and fully understand the following:
A. I am charged with PUBLIC INTOXICATIONSECOND OFFENSE, in violation of Iowa
Code Sections 123.46(2) and 123.91(1), a Serious Misdemeanor; I hereby request that my
plea of guilty to the charge be entered of record.
B. The maximum punishment for a Serious Misdemeanor is imprisonment of not more than one
year in jail, and a fine of not more than $1,875.00 plus statutory surcharges, plus all court
costs and all costs and fees incurred for legal assistance. There is a minimum fine of $315.00,
plus a 35% surcharge in the amount of $110.25, 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. In addition, if the charge is a violation of Code Chapters, 124, 155A, 453B, 713, 714,
715A, 716, or Code Sections 719.8, 725.1, 725.2 or 725.3, there is an additional Law
Enforcement Initiative surcharge of $125. 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 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.
C. I understand that a criminal conviction, deferred judgment or deferred sentence may affect my
status under federal immigration laws.
D. If I plead not guilty, 1 would be entitled to the following rights. 1 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
1
E-FILED 2014 SEP 29 10:40 AM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT
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.
E. 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 if I had been tried and found guilty by a jury.
F. 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 guilty to Count I as charged. The County
Attorney will recommend a Jail sentence of time previously served, with credit for time served
of five (5) days, and that Defendant NOT be placed on probation. I will pay a fine in the
amount of $315.00, plus the 35% surcharge in the amount of $110.25, court costs and court
appointed attorney fees: to be paid by paying $50.00 per month on the 15 th day of the month
following the judgment entry and on the 15 th day of each month thereafter until paid in full.
Terms of the plea agreement include dismissal of the charge of Criminal Mischief 5 th Degree,
and dismissal of ODSMCR012579 with court costs assessed to Defendant.
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, and all surcharges and
mandatory punishments (see paragraph B) applicable to my case.
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: I was intoxicated in a public place and I had previously been convicted of
Public Intoxication. I understand the nature of the charge against me.
This offense was committed by me in Sac County low Ally my doing the following: On or
about the rd day of July 2014 I was intoxicated ar aland Main Street in Lake-View-
Iowa, which is a public place, and I was convicted of Public Intoxication in Sac County
Iowa, in Sac County Magistrate Court case #SMCR011630 on May 10, 2010.
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 bargain
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
2
E-FILED 2014 SEP 29 10:40 AM SAC - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT
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.
WAIVER OF MOTION IN ARREST OF JUDGMENT
If the Court accepts my plea of guilty, I wish to be sentenced now. I understand that:
1. In order to contest this plea of guilty, I must file a Motion in Arrest of Judgment no later
than 45 days after a plea of guilty and no later than 5 days prior to pronouncement of
judgment, and that 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, and the right to file a
Motion in Arrest of Judgment will be waived by having the Court impose a sentence now.
2. By having the Court impose my sentence now, 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 hereby request the Court sentence me now and I waive any time to which I may be entitled
for sentencing at a later date.
WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BE PRESENT
I have been fully advised that I have a constitutional right to be present at my sentencing
and present evidence in my own behalf. I understand that it is my choice to be present or not, and
that no one can exclude me from sentencing.
With the above in mind, and further understanding that my decision whether to be present
or not is my own decision, I hereby knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to be present at my
sentencing.
