Arizona has some of the most severe penalties for DUIs. Depending on various factors you can be charged with a felony on your first offense.
You will be charged with a Regular DUI if you are arrested while operating a motor vehicle and your BAC is 0.08%. (0.04% if operating a commercial vehicle.) Additionally, if you have not yet turned 21, you can face a DUI charge if you have any detectable amount of alcohol in your system. A Phoenix DUI defense lawyer can assist you with your case and fight for the best possible outcome.
The possible punishments for a first-offense DUI are at least ten days in jail, a fine of at least $1,250 plus additional fees and surcharges, alcohol screening/treatment, community service, and you must equip your car with an ignition interlock device. For a second and/or subsequent offense, you will face a minimum of 90 days in jail, a minimum fine of $3000 plus additional fees and surcharges, and suspension of your driver’s license for a year. In addition, you will be required to complete alcohol screening/treatment, perform community service, and equip your car with an ignition interlock device.
You will be arrested for an extreme DUI if you are operating a vehicle with a BAC of at least 0.15%.
If it is your first extreme DUI offense you will serve at least 30 days in jail and must pay a fine of at least $2500 plus additional fees and surcharges. Also, you will be required to complete alcohol screening/treatment, perform community service, and equip your car with an ignition interlock device.
