A Pottsville man was sent to prison after not showing up for court twice in less than two months.
According to the Republican Herald, 40 year old Robert C. Kalbach finally appeared Tuesday before a Schuylkill County judge, who promptly sentenced him to prison for driving under the influence in October 2016 in Pottsville.
In a non-jury trial that Kalbach did not attend on Aug. 31, he was found guilty of DUI and careless driving.
Pottsville police alleged Kalbach was DUI on Oct. 28, 2016.
Kalbach had been scheduled to be sentenced earlier in October, but again did not appear in court for that proceeding.
He was caught on Oct. 22 and confined to prison until Tuesday’s sentencing.
He is now sentenced to serve 60 days to six months in prison.
