What is an Aggravated DWI?

You will be charged with an Aggravated DWI if your blood alcohol content is found to be 0.18 or higher on a chemical test. This is more than twice the legal limit, which is 0.08. A first offense Aggravated DWI is still charged as a misdemeanor but, if you are convicted, you face stiffer penalties.

For a first offense:

  • The fines you will owe will be in excess of $1,000
  • The minimum driver's license revocation is 1 year
  • You can also be punished with up to 1 year in jail

A conviction of an Aggravated DWI also means that you will be court ordered to install an ignition interlock device on your vehicle. This device requires you to provide an acceptable breath test before your vehicle will start.

If you are arrested for Aggravated DWI, the law strictly limits your ability to plea-bargain to the lesser charge of a DWAI, which is only a violation and not a criminal charge. This means that a likely offer will be a plea to a non-Aggravated DWI, which is still a misdemeanor and will result in a criminal conviction.
