Punishments for DUIs in Oklahoma
Penalties for Oklahoma DUI Conviction
First time misdemeanor DUI in Oklahoma carries a minimum jail sentence of ten days in jail, if you are found guilty. In some cases you may be required to serve up to a year in jail on a first offense. Additionally, you may be required to pay a fine of up to $1,000 for your first offense as well. These penalties are in addition to the administrative pain of dealing with DPS to save your Driver’s License and other consequences of a DUI in Oklahoma.
Anyone with a prior DUI conviction may face a felony DUI, which carries a minimum of one year in jail, not a maximum. Know your rights, know your options, seek counsel from a DUI lawyer in Oklahoma. Please find a chart of the current punishment ranges for DUI, DWI, and APC offenses below:
