The penalties for driving under the influence in Washington County PA are based on blood alcohol content at the time of arrest. The legal threshold for impairment is a BAC of .08%. If you had a BAC between .08-.099%, misdemeanor charges will be filed against you. The higher the BAC, the more severe the penalties and the criminal charges.

Note that other factors are taken into account when DUI charges are filed.
