What Happens To First Time DUI Offenders in Arizona?

Arizona First Offender

Most DUI arrests in Arizona involve two common DUI charges and offenders are commonly charged with both charges.

  • Diving While Impaired ‘to the slightest degree’ by alcohol or drugs;
  • Having a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher within 2 hours of driving.

Your license will be taken and automatically suspended or revoked for a period of 90 days to two years depending on the number of priors.

A first offense extreme DUI carries a minimum sentence of 30 days in jail, 21 of which can be suspended under certain conditions, but a first-time offender will serve at least 10 days in jail.

First-Time Offender Penalties (BAC .08 or higher):

Over 90% of Arizona DUI offenders plead guilty. If you plead guilty as a First Offender, you will most likely face the following consequences:

  • JAIL: Minimum 10 consecutive days in jail. Maximum 6 months. The court may suspend 9 of the 10 days if you agree to get an alcohol and/or drug evaluation, and submit to treatment.
  • FINE & COSTS: A minimum of $1,500+ in fines and fees.
  • LICENSE: The MVD will suspend your driver’s license for 90 days.
  • COUNSELING: If recommended in your evaluation and you want the Judge to suspend all but one day in jail.
  • PROBATION: You will probably be placed on probation, usually for one year, but possibly for up to five years.
  • IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICE: You will be required to have an Ignition Interlock Device installed on your vehicle.

First-Time Offender-Extreme DUI (BAC above .15)

  • JAIL: 30 consecutive days in jail. The Court may suspend 21 of the 30 days if you agree to get an alcohol and/or drug evaluation, and submit to treatment;
  • FINE & COSTS: $250.00 fine, plus a $170 surcharge, plus two additional $1,000 assessment to the Arizona DUI abatement fund;
  • LICENSE: The MVD will suspend your driver’s’ license for 90 days;
  • COUNSELING: If recommended in your evaluation, the Judge may suspend all but 9 days in jail;
  • PROBATION: You may be placed on probation for up to five years.
  • IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICE: You will be required to have an Ignition Interlock Device installed on your vehicle.

NOTE: Extreme DUI is still a misdemeanor, not a felony. DUI arrests involving passengers under 15 years old, wrong-way driving, driving while your license is suspended are commonly felonies with substantially greater penalties, as are repeat offenses with two or more prior DUIs.

Test Refusal

If you refuse the BAC test, your license may be suspended for one year. This is true even if you are found not guilty of the DUI charge.

Alcohol Abuse Screening

First time offenders must complete an alcohol abuse screening, in order to avoid jail time. The court may order you to obtain counseling, education, or treatment if the court or the screening facility determines that you have a substance abuse problem.

Restricted License

If you did not cause serious physical injury to another person, has not been convicted of a prior drinking and driving, you are entitled to a reduced punishment of a thirty day suspension and a sixty day restricted license.

A restricted driver’s license allows the driver to operate a motor vehicle to and from work, medical appointments, and counseling sessions.

Commercial Driver License

If you have a commercial driver’s license and are arrested while operating a commercial vehicle with an alcohol concentration of .04 or more:

FIRST-TIME COMMERCIAL DUI OFFENDER:

  • You will be sentenced to serve not less than ten (10) days in jail, nine (9) days of which may be suspended with court-ordered screening and recommended treatment.
  • Fine: minimum of $1,500 in fines and fees.
  • Your license will be suspended for one (1) year, and you may be sentenced to some community service.

SECOND-TIME COMMERCIAL DUI OFFENDER:

  • You will be sentenced to serve not less than ninety (90) days in jail, thirty (30) days of which shall be served consecutively, and will not eligible for probation. However, the judge may suspend all but thirty (30) days of the sentence if the person completes a court ordered alcohol or other drug screening, education or treatment program.
  • Fine: minimum of $3,000 in fines and fees.
  • Permanent revocation of your CDL.

DUI Under 21

If your under 21, a First DUI violation with ANY detectable alcohol in your system (even a trace odor on your breath), you will have to serve a minimum of ten (10) days in jail and pay fines and fees of over $1,500. However, the judge may suspend the jail sentence under certain circumstances and order community service in place of some of the fees.

In addition, the consequences to your insurance and driver license can be even more severe. You will face a mandatory 2-year license suspension, you will need to purchase pre-paid insurance (SR-22) for years, and your insurance company may drastically increase your rates or drop you completely.
