What Is the Punishment for a First Time DWI?
A first time DWI charge is most often filed as a misdemeanor. As long as the driver was not operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a minor 15 years or younger in the car, or did not cause an injury accident, it is likely that you are facing a misdemeanor charge for DWI.
While a misdemeanor is less serious than a felony, a first time DWI conviction will damage your criminal record and lead to:
- Up to 180 days of jail time
- License suspension of up to a year
- Fines of up to $2,000
- Community service
- Driver's license surcharge
