What Is Considered A Felony DUI In Idaho?

In Idaho, a DUI becomes a felony under certain conditions. If you are charged with a DUI and it is your third offense within a 10-year period, it is classified as a felony. Additionally, any DUI offense that results in bodily injury or death is immediately considered a felony.

A felony DUI charge carries long-lasting repercussions that can affect your personal and professional life. Potential penalties for a felony DUI in Idaho include substantial fines, lengthy license suspensions or revocations, and significant jail time. Having an ignition interlock device installed in your vehicle is also a common requirement.

Aggravating Factors For A Felony DUI Charge In Idaho

Certain aggravating factors can elevate a misdemeanor DUI to a felony. These include having a prior DUI conviction within the last 10 years, causing bodily injury or death while driving under the influence or having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.20% or higher. Each of these factors adds complexity to your case and requires a nuanced defense strategy.

It is vital that you seek legal representation immediately if you are facing a felony DUI charge. As your attorney, I will explore all possible defenses, which may include questioning the accuracy of the BAC testing methods used, the legality of the traffic stop or other procedural inconsistencies that could benefit your case.
