What Is Aggravated Dui?

Aggravated DUI in Oklahoma is based upon the test result. If a person tests either by breath or blood a .15% or higher, he CAN be charged with aggravated DUI. A prior record DOES NOT matter. This can apply to a first timer arrest as well. These charges can ONLY be filed in a Statelevel court. Municipal Courts do not have the jurisdiction to file this charge. The punishment for this type of DUI starts with the same punishment as a "regular" DUI: up to one year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine for a first time OR, up to 10 years and/or $5,000 fine if you have had two or more prior convictions of felonies before. However, aggravated DUI provides for an ADDITIONAL "layer" of punishment of, IF CONVICTED, 30 days mandatory inpatient alcoholism treatment, 480 hours community service, one (1) year of aftercare meetings, and an ignition interlock installed on the person's car for no less than 30 days. This way of charging applies to an Actual Physical Control while under the Influence (APC) as well.
