There's a lot at stake after a DWI arrest. Penalties can seem extreme even without aggravating factors:
- First offense: Up to $2,000 fine; 3 to 180 days in jail; loss of driver’s license for up to 1 year
- Second offense: Up to $4,000 fine; 1 to 12 months in jail; loss of driver’s license for up to 2 years
- Third or subsequent offense: Up to $10,000 fine; 2 to 10 years in prison; loss of driver’s license for up to 2 years; felony on your record
Aggravating Factors Can Increase the Penalties
- Driving with a child under 15 can lead to child endangerment charges and felony penalties.
- A high BAC (.15 or more) elevates a Class B misdemeanor to Class A.
- Causing injury or death can result in intoxication assault or intoxication manslaughter charges carrying lengthy prison sentences.
