Wayne County DUI Attorney

A Wayne County DUI attorney represents individuals charged with OVI or other traffic offenses in Wayne County.  OVI is the short term for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.   The two charges that often arise in such matters are:  (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.  The statute provides for a certain minimum driver’s license suspension, depending on a number of factors.

Other OVI Cases This Wayne County DUI Attorney Handles

 

A lesser version of OVI is physical control of a motor vehicle, which  occurs when one is in the driver’s seat of a vehicle with possession of the keys, and the person is under the influence or drugs, alcohol or a combination of them, or has a BAC as defined in the OVI statute (R.C. 4511.19).  There are essentially no minimum penalties for this offense, but the court must impose a class 7 suspension, which must consist of some time.

Another lesser version of OVI is operating a vehicle after underage consumption (OVUAC), more commonly known as a “baby DUI,” which makes it illegal for persons under 21 years of age to drive a vehicle with a concentration of .02 percent, but less than .08 percent by weight of alcohol by whole blood or breath, or with an equivalent amount by blood serum or plasma or urine.   A conviction for this offense carries a minimum license suspension of 90 days for a first offense, but no minimum period of incarceration.
