Have You Been Arrested in Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, Goleta or Isla Vista for Public Intoxication?
The City of Santa Barbara maintains such a sobering facility on Haley Street. Typically, a person is released by the “Sobering Center” staff after about four hours even though they have the lawful authority to keep them detained for up to 72 hours. If the detainee protests, or is otherwise unruly and/or in need of medical attention, the police will return and process a criminal arrest under section 647(f). In those cases, the person arrested will generally be prosecuted at a later date in a court of law and, in Santa Barbara, under normal circumstances, will spend anywhere from 6 to 23 hours in the Santa Barbara County Jail before they are released after signing a “promise to appear” in court.
