00:00Don't blow smoke up my ass.
00:02Go to jail. Goodbye. We're done.
00:04When this man kept showing up to court, intoxicated and ignored every probation condition,
00:08the judge finally had enough and sent him straight to jail.
00:10Your Honor, today's the date I have set for violation of probation.
00:13I've got two files. I've got a file ending in 1182, and I've got a file ending in 1648.
00:20As he picked up new charges, I'm not addressing the new charges because he has a retained attorney.
00:25Right, and a date to come back on that file.
00:27Right. New charges are an allegation that they would be a violation of probation,
00:31but my indication from the probation department is that Mr. Schomer has not done anything I've told him to do.
00:38Told him to do treatment at GrowthWorks, told him to do community service, gave him work program days.
00:43Has he ever showed you any indication of treatment?
00:45No indication or documentation of treatment, Your Honor.
00:48So he had to finish the work program. He showed up here, including today, at least three times under the
00:52influence.
00:53What was his PBT today?
00:54Today is .10.
00:55All right, so are we entering a responsible guilty plea to the violation or a not guilty plea?
00:59We're guilty. He picked up a new charge and he's intoxicated in court. That's obviously a violation.
01:04So we've been pleading guilty.
01:06His explanation, he can afford that, Your Honor.
01:08I'm willing to listen to anything you've got to tell me, Mr. Schomer.
01:10It was last night. I had girls and friends come over. We were playing cars for about 2 o'clock
01:16in the morning.
01:16So he came.
01:17I went to bed after that. I didn't wake up this morning to sign anything.
01:20I came in here and put a shower, had my coffee, and I showed up here early.
01:24I didn't come in here intoxicated.
01:26You're legally intoxicated. By law. By law, sir, don't argue. By law, you're legally intoxicated.
01:32The state of Michigan says at a .08, you are presumed to be intoxicated.
01:36I had a night, okay? We're friends, okay? We enjoyed our moment, okay? I had a few drinks, okay? I
01:42can't-
01:43Sir, sir, don't blow smoke up my-
01:46Listen to me. If you're at a .08 at 11 o'clock in the morning, you had more than a
01:50few drinks last night.
01:52And you had more than a few.
01:53Say it. What was count? I mean, just enjoy a moment.
01:56I bet you'll be counting now because I'm violating on both these files and you're going to do 90 days
02:00in jail on each file.
02:01I don't understand how your head works.
02:03Listen, I can get over-
02:05No, no. I'll provide transportation for the next trip.
02:0890 days in jail on each of these two files and then we'll close them out unsuccessfully.
02:13It's my job.
02:14That's not my concern.
02:15Sir, I have given you every leeway.
02:18I need some tension.
02:20You accidentally got so drunk last night that you're at a .10 at 11 a.m.
02:24I told-
02:25Then grow the hell up. You're not 20 years old.
02:27The kind of behavior I'm seeing from you is what I'm used to seeing in 20 year olds.
02:31Go to jail. Goodbye. We're done.
02:33What can we want to say?
02:34It's stupid but it's not dangerous.
02:36But now the allegation is he's driving like that.
02:38He's gone beyond he's a nuisance.
02:40Right? Now he's a danger.
