Bennet will serve 22 months in prison, and upon his release will be subject to three years , 100 hours of community service, and a $400 special assessment, according to Jim L. Swart, director of the Office of Drug and Alcohol Police and Compliance at the Department of Transportation.


The Office of Drug and Alcohol Police and Compliance issued a Public Interest Exclusion against Bennett July 31, 2009, but because of a federal criminal indictment by the Department of Justice was pending against Bennet, ODAPC did not make a public notification of the PID in the Federal Register until November 17, 2009.
