Is a DUI a Misdemeanor or a Felony? - DUI Attorney Arizona

|

Under Arizona DUI law, driving under the influence is typically charged as a misdemeanor. However, an aggravated DUI or an extreme DUI can both be charged as a felony. Here are a couple situations that can prompt charges for a felony DUI instead of a misdemeanor DUI:

  • There was a child under the age of 15 in the car at the time of the DUI arrest
  • Prior DUI convictions on criminal record
  • Driver’s license suspended or revoked at the time of their DUI arrest
  • Arrested for a DUI after a judge required use of an ignition interlock device
