Understanding Felony DUIs In North Dakota And Minnesota
A felony DUI – known as a DUI in North Dakota and a DWI in Minnesota – occurs when an individual operates a vehicle under the influence of marijuana or other substances and meets certain aggravating factors. In North Dakota, a fourth DUI offense within 15 years is a felony, while in Minnesota, a fourth offense within 10 years or any DUI offense that results in bodily harm can escalate to a felony. The intricacies of these laws underscore the importance of tailored legal strategies.
In North Dakota, a felony DUI can mean up to a year in prison, a minimum fine of $2,000, license revocation and vehicle impoundment, two years supervised probation, two years participation in the 24/7 Sobriety Program and mandatory treatment for addiction.
Minnesota penalties can be similarly severe, with up to seven years imprisonment and a fine of up to $14,000. You may also lose your license for up to four years. Beyond the immediate penalties, a felony record can severely restrict your gun rights, voting rights and job opportunities – casting a long shadow over your future.
With so much at stake, including your freedom, it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney by your side. An experienced DUI defense lawyer will navigate the complexities of your case, aiming to minimize consequences and protect your future.
