If after all of these steps it is determined that the person was in fact
operating a vehicle illegally, they will be placed into a holding cell, known
as a "drunk tank" in most places, until a time when they are deemed
sober enough to be released. Or they will be sent to jail to await a court hearing,
or until they are bailed out. From there, it depends on the laws in the state
in which they were arrested. Most states seem to have a mandatory 90 day
suspension of license, accompanied by fines that can range from the hundreds to
thousands of dollars. Some states do allow you to appeal your license
suspension after a certain amount of time before the mandatory suspension is up
(30 days, for example), while other states force you to wait until the
sentenced time for you to get your license back.
