Rittman DUI Attorney
The crime of OVI in Ohio is often referred to as DUI, DWI, drunk driving, driving under the influence, or driving while intoxicated. Ohio defines the offense as operating a vehicle under the influence in Ohio Revised Code 4511.19 (R.C. 4511.19). A Rittman DUI Attorney can identify and pursue defenses for one charged with one of the following offenses in Rittman, Ohio: (1) the OVI charge, which alleges that the person operated a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or a combination of them; and (2) the BAC charge, which usually alleges that the person operated a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or more, which is determined by a breath sample, or an equivalent amount by blood serum or plasma or urine, as well as levels of various drugs.
What if the accused was not driving the car, but was behind the wheel of a car? If that person had possession of the keys, that person may be charged with having physical control of a vehicle while under the influence as defined in Ohio Revised Code 4511.194 (R.C. 4511.194).
