Aggravated DUI in Arizona ( § 28-1383)
In Arizona, Aggravated DUI is a felony. There are four “aggravators” that can turn a misdemeanor DUI into a felony DUI. They include committing a DUI:
- While your driver’s license is suspended or revoked, a class 4 felony
- Your third or more within 84 months (7 years), is a class 4 felony
- While legally obligated to have an ignition interlock devise installed in your vehicle, a class 4 felony
- With a child age 15 or younger in the vehicle, is a class 6 felony
A conviction for aggravated DUI will cause you to lose your voting rights and your right to possess a firearm. It may also impact your ability to get employment, public benefits, or even lease an apartment. A missed court date in Arizona can result in additional prison time. A conviction for aggravated DUI also results in prison time as opposed to county jail time. This means you will be housed at the Arizona Department of Corrections and will not be given work release.
Possible penalties for Aggravated DUI:
- A minimum of 4 months in prison, which could aggravate up to 3.75 years
- Revocation of your driving privileges for one year
- Installation of an ignition interlock for 24 months
- A minimum fee of $750.00
- A felony conviction
- Loss of any professional licenses
How to Defend an Aggravated DUI?
The aggravated DUI lawyers at Lerner and Rowe will work to get your case dismissed or the charge reduced to a misdemeanor. If reduced to a misdemeanor, you will be doing one day in jail instead of 4 months in prison. As part of your defense, your DUI lawyer will explore the following issues:
- The constitutionality of the stop of your vehicle
- Whether the arresting officer(s) followed proper police procedure
- The validity and reliability of any scientific tests you underwent
- Whether there were violations of your Miranda rights or right to counsel
