WHAT CONSTITUTES A FELONY DUI?
Felony DUI is reserved for repeat or aggravated offenses. In general, if you have been convicted of your second DUI offense, you will be at risk for a felony DUI for the following 10 years. If you receive your third conviction during this time, you will receive a third-degree felony resulting in penalties such as license suspension and multiple years in prison.
You can also be at risk for felony DUI under the following circumstances:
- A fourth conviction, received at any time
- DUI manslaughter or child endangerment
- Fleeing from the scene of an accident
- DUI resulting in severe property damage
- An offense causing serious injury to another person
