Staff Writer
A drunk student leaves a local
nightclub in College Station, know
ing the chance he is taking with the
law. He gets arrested for a DWI —
driving while intoxicated.
It is a humiliating experience. He
is thrown in jail with what he per
ceives as “real” criminals — thieves,
robbers, people who assault others
and drug dealers. This person, a
typical DWI offender, does not see
himself as a criminal. But now he is.
Dan Beto, chief probation officer
for Brazos County, said the typical
DWI offender is white, male and
about 25 years old.
A misdemeanor is a minor offense
that can be punished only by fines or
jail, as opposed to a felony, which
can be punished by imprisonment.
There are 2,401 people on adult
legal probation in Brazos County.
Of those, 1,359 are misdemeanor
cases, of which 20 percent are stu
dents.
Of those students, 75 percent
were put on probation for DWIs.
A DWI, even the first, is a serious
offense. County Judge Claude Davis
said.
It is a conviction that goes on a
person’s record and is permanent.
Davis calculates he sent 91 people
to jail, mainly for DWIs, for the
months of July, August and Septem
ber.
All judges try to listen to each in
dividual case before sentencing, Da
vis said.
“We must not only be fair, we
must treat people equally,” Davis
said.
For example, one student driving
intoxicated may have a car accident
and kill someone.
He will be dealt with more se
verely than someone with no pre
vious record who was pulled over for
a DWI that did not result in an acci
dent.
Each offender’s circumstance is
considered before the judge sen
tences the person. This process re
sults in a different sentence for each
offender.
Since 1979, offenders placed on
felony probation or probation for a
DWI have been required to perform
a certain number of hours of com
munity service for a non-profit or
tax-supported organization, Beto
said.
“Community service is not exclu
sive of any category though,” Beto
said. “It is up to the judge in each ca
se.”
According to the Brazos County
Adult Probation Department’s 1986
annual report, 12,200 hours of com
munity service were performed for
31 different organizations by more
than 200 probationers. The esti
mated dollar value of the work per
formed has been calculated at
$54,293.
Davis said he has given 41 people
probation in the last three months
with an average of 61 hours of com
munity service pier person.
The Brazos County Adult Legal
Probation Department monitors of
fenders after they have been sen
tenced.
A person on probation in Brazos
County has to report to his desig
nated probation officer once a
month and pay $40 each visit.
Beto, who has been with the Bra
zos County Adult Legal Probation
Department since September 1979,
said probation works.
“I wouldn’t be in it if I didn’t think
it worked,” he said. Davis agrees,
saying that most people never come
through probation a second time.
There are two main purposes of
adult probation, Beto said.

“The stated goal of all criminal
justice agencies is to provide public
protection and aid in the rehabilita
tion of the offender,” Beto said.
But there are students who con
tinually violate probation, and some
say they feel probation does not
work.
“It was a joke,” Tim Lubbert, a ju
nior building construction major,
said. “It was the biggest waste of
time. All 1 did was send in my money
each month. 1 hardly saw my proba
tion officer.”
Lubbert was on probation for
DWI in 1985. He was pulled over for
speeding in Anahuac on his way
home to Beaumont and was charged
with DWI. His probation officer was
in Anahuac so he never saw him,
Lubbert said. He just mailed his
monthly probation fee in, he said.
“All they want is your money,”
Lubbert said.
Probation departments differ
across Texas and whether or not the
punishment is effective is up to the
individual probationer, Beto said.
A first-time DWI offender in Bra
zos County with no prior record can
expect to spend $1,700 in fines, costs
and probation fees. Probation fees
drugs on the body and help deter
mine whether a particular abuser
has control over his drug usage. Ac
tion will be taken accordingly in
handling a chemical-abusing proba
tioner. The probationer participates
in ten urine analyses during a 16-
week period.
Parchman, one of the directonof
ESP, said the probationer is told
what days the tests will be given. She
said if a test is positive, it means the
probationer has a problem, because
he knew when the test was going to
be given and did not care.
“(If this happens) they obviously
have no conscious control over their
use,” she said.
An offender is referred to ESP
through pre-scntencing done by the
probation department. Cases that
are pre-sentenced are felony cases,
misdemeanor DWI cases and misde
meanor cases as judges direct.
Pre-sentence investigation reports
offer the courts an understanding of
the world the offender lives in,
Parchman said.
“It gives us an idea of any prob
lems a person may have, and we
make recommendations according
ly,” she said.
The probation department con
tracts services such as professional
substance abuse counselors and psy
chiatrists to assure that probationen
with specific problems receive
proper treatment. These services are
necessary because of the number of
serious substance-abuse problems.
There are all kinds of metham-
phetamine labs, where illegal drugs
are made, in the Brazos Vallei
Beto said.
[ley area,
alone for a two-year sentence are
$960, and to this the offender can
add the cost of an attorney.
According to the department’s an
nual report, during 1986 Brazos
County’s three district courts and
two county courts-at-law collected
$791,130 from probationers. The
amount collected includes restitu
tion, fines, court costs, probation
fees and appointed attorney’s fees.
In addition to the overwhelming
monetary expenses, time expendi
ture is required by a probationer in
community service. They must at
tend once-a-month probation ap
pointments and sometimes special
programs.
Tne Brazos County Probation De
partment offers different programs
for offenders. Alcohol education
classes are required by probationers
convicted of DWIs.
The program, taught at Texas
A&M under the direction of Dr.
Maurice E. Dennis, an industrial ed
ucation professor and a traffic safety
expert, is designed to assist the of
fender in idenufying problems asso
ciated with excessive drinking, to
help the problem drinker and to en
courage responsible behavior while
operating a motor vehicle. The class
is taught on a pass or fail basis.
“The only way to fail the class is to
not attend or participate in classes,”
Dennis said.
A Drug Education and Screening
Program (ESP) is offered to proba
tioners who abuse drugs ana alco
hol, probation officer Arlene Parch
man said.
“The program is mainly required
for felony offenders with a long his
tory of chemical and alcohol abuse,”
Parchman said.
The program is designed to teach
the probationers about the effects of
“We’ve got a serious drug prob
lem in this area,” Beto said.
The probation department imple
ments more than 200 drug tests per
month. Urinalyses are supervision
tools that have been used by the de
partment for three years.
The department recendy bought
a more advanced drug-testing ma
chine — the Abbott TDX Analyzer.
It is capable of testing up to 200 dif
ferent drugs, said Deputy Chief Pro
bation Officer Fred Maddox, who
operates the machine.
Maddox said the four predomi
nant drugs the department checks
for are cocaine, amphetamines, mar
ijuana and opiates.
If a probationer tests positive fora
drug, the probationer may be con
fronted with the results, he said. The
offender may be required to go back
before a judge for resentencing,
which may include anything from
modifying probation terms to serv
ing a sentence in the TDC.
For most students these programs
are not required because most are
misdemeanor cases or felony DWI
cases. The alcohol-awareness pro
gram and the community-service
program are the most prevalent pro
grams involving students.
“More people than you might ex
pect in your age bracket (18 to 24
years old) are alcoholics,” Davis said.
“I feel for them. I just wish they
could be educated to never get be
hind that wheel if they’re going to
drink.”
Probation sentences, which limit
and restrict a person’s activities and
lifestyles, can be severe.
“But one of the big penalties of
any crime is the public embarrass
ment of it all,” Davis said. “It’s a pen
alty we don’t know how to assess. ’
If a probationer makes it through,
he will most likely never be seen on
probation again, Davis said.
“Probation is very, very onerous,”
he said.
