What to do if I got a wet reckless about 1 1/2 years ago and received a bench warrant for not completing the required classes in time?
I wasn’t able to complete classes for lack of money since I was a student and I was never able to get a hold of my public defender or anyone who could help me. What can I do to avoid any jail time? And is jail time likely?

If you received a suspended sentence with respect to completing all terms and conditions of the wet reckless you have written about and failed to abide by the terms of your sentence, your suspended sentence could very well be imposed upon you. I suggest that you complete the required classes before the upcoming court date and retain a criminal defense attorney to represent you in the upcoming matter as to the bench warrant issued against you.
