Second A.I. charge did 8 hours in Drunk Tank and they let me out.

I would just like to know what's going or could happen to me. I have anxiety and am really scared that I will go back to jail. I would have thought that if I was going to do more jail time that they wouldn't have let me out to begin with. I was in a public place and I was crying.
What will happen to you depends quite a bit on the facts of the case. What was your blood alcohol content (BAC)? Why were you stopped? What did the officer say about your driving? Was there a car accident? Was anyone injured? What other criminal history do you have, if any? How old are you? More facts are needed. I would talk to an experienced DUI attorney in Kentucky and explain your case facts rather than posting answers to my questions on the Internet.
I would doubt additional time would be warranted, you should hire an attorney to represent you. If you cannot afford an attorney, you can ask for a public defender. When you appear in court, you can ask the prosecutor for a recommendation prior to entering your plea. If in doubt, plead not guilty and set for hearing.
