Aggravated DUI with Child in Car:
Watch David Cantor explain an Aggravated DUI with a child in the car:
If you are cited for any DUI while a child under the age of 15 was a passenger, you can also be charged with an Aggravated DUI (class six (6) felony). Although this type of DUI is not as serious as the standard class four (4) Aggravated DUI, it still is a felony. The State would need to prove not only that the child in the car was under 15 years of age, but that you were also either impaired by alcohol while driving, or you had a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or higher within two (2) hours of being stopped by the Police.
Additional Punishment for Aggravated DUI/DWI
In addition, to the above penalties in the state of Arizona you will also face additional penalties of:
- License Revocation For a Minimum of 3 Years
- Upon Reinstatement Mandatory Ignition Interlock Device
Time is not on your side and you will suffer all consequences as dictated by Arizona DUI Law without an experienced Felony DUI attorney to defend you.
