 DUI Penalties

The penalties for DUI can vary depending on many factors, including one's actual blood alcohol content, and the number of times one has been convicted for committing DUI.  Punishment can include up to a year in jail, $5000 fine, and lengthy license suspensions. This is in addition to five years of probation, alcohol treatment, mandatory ignition interlock, and more.  Any of these penalties can be increased if the DUI resulted in the injury or death of another human being.
