Depending on your blood-alcohol content (BAC) level, the circumstances of the incident, and whether you have prior OWI convictions, you could be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony. In general, the more alcohol in your system, the more damage your driving caused, and the greater the number of previous OWI convictions, the more severe the penalties will be.

Additional Penalties

In addition to criminal penalties, an OWI conviction could lead to the suspension or revocation of your Indiana driver’s license for a period of time. First-time offenders can expect to face a 90 day suspension, while a repeat offenders could have their license revoked for up to ten years. If you need to drive a vehicle in order to make a living, you may be eligible to request a hardship license. However, you may be required to install an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) in order to operate the vehicle.
