Michigan High BAC 2nd Offense Charge

As mentioned above, the legal BAC limit in Michigan is 0.08%; however, if you are found to be operating a motor vehicle with a BAC of more than 0.17%, you will face enhanced, or increased, penalties. A first-time offender faces increased fines, jail time, and extended license suspension period. As a second-time or repeat offender you will likely face penalties applicable to a repeat OWI offender, which means harsher penalties. A high BAC second offense within 7 years of being charged with OWI means that throughout your DUI case, it is highly likely your blood alcohol content will be a huge factor, one that prosecutors will focus on. This is one reason it is essential to work with an aggressive criminal defense lawyer.

Criminal Penalties for High Blood Alcohol Content 2nd Offense OWI in Michigan

A second offense super drunk or high BAC offense is considered a misdemeanor, just as a first offense OWI charge. As mentioned earlier, a second offense high BAC within 7 years of the first will result in more serious penalties, those typically applied in the case of an OWI repeat offender. If convicted, penalties may include a mandatory fine of up to $1,000, up to one year in jail, 90 days of community service, and possible vehicle immobilization. You will also be ordered to pay driver responsibility fees, and have your driver's license revoked for at least one year.
