Following her second arrest within the same night, Caitlyn was held in custody until she reached a state of sobriety as her parents were unable to manage her volatile behavior. The court ultimately consolidated the charges from both incidents, resulting in a sentence of one year of supervised probation and a mandate to complete a comprehensive alcohol evaluation and treatment program. In addition to her legal fees, she was ordered to pay restitution for the administrative costs associated with her double processing at the station.

[00:08:19]Her father's alleged status in law enforcement did not grant her leniency.

[00:08:25]Instead, the judge emphasized the unnecessary danger she posed to herself and the responding officers.

[00:08:33]This night of defiance left Caitlyn with a permanent criminal record and a harsh lesson on the limits of parental protection when faced with the rule of law.
