Commonwealth v. Potts
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
BROSKY, Judge.
This is an appeal by the Commonwealth, pursuant to 75 Pa.C.S. § 3731 (e)(4), from the judgment of sentence imposed after appellee pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol, 75 Pa.C.S. § 3731 (a).. The Commonwealth contends that by sentencing appellee to 48 hours imprisonment and imposing a $300.00 fine, the trial court violated the mandatory sentencing requirements of 75 Pa. C.S. § 3731 (e)(1)(ii), which calls for a minimum term of imprisonment of not less than 30 days for violators with a previous conviction under the section. We agree and remand for resentencing.
