Felony DUI - DWI in Florida: Multiple and Complex Charges
If police stopped you at a checkpoint and tested your blood alcohol concentration at 0.08%, you could be charged with a misdemeanor DUI, per Florida Statute 316.193(3).
If you caused property damage or slightly injured someone, you may still be charged with a first degree misdemeanor offense. That is still a serious offense with possible total prison time of twelve months. However, if you collected a third DUI within 10 years of any prior DUI conviction – prosecutors can upgrade your charge to a felony DUI.
Anyone arrested for a fourth or subsequent DUI will be charged with third degree Felony DUI. Penalties include a fine from $2000 to $5000, time in jail up to 5 years, probation, permanent revocation of your driver’s license, and additional criminal penalties such as in charges of DUI manslaughter or homicide.
Causing serious injury to someone while driving under the influence can result in third-degree felony charges. Charges of DUI vehicular manslaughter may be a first or second-degree felony.
In addition to jail time, the penalties may include suspension of your license, probation, compulsory alcohol school, and community service. You may also face fines and fees and massive hikes in your auto insurance rates.
