Sentencing for a first-time DUI could include 48 hours in jail, $350.00 fine, complete alcohol school, 24 hours of litter removal, and loss of driver’s license for one year. A second conviction can mean 45 days in jail and a two-year license suspension. There are enhanced penalties if your BAC is over .20, you had a child on board or you caused an accident or injury. A fourth DUI is a felony, with mandatory jail time upon conviction. In most Tennessee counties, it is possible to negotiate your case and plead guilty to a lesser offense. Our experienced criminal defense lawyers will examine the state’s case for every opportunity to get charges dismissed or reduced: Legality of the traffic stop Administering of field sobriety tests The officer’s report and video from the patrol car camera Results of blood alcohol content (BAC) tests License Suspension Your license is suspended when you plead guilty or are convicted at trial. Waldron, Fann & Parsley can help you get a restricted license to drive to work and school, if eligible. If you are under 21, your license can be suspended for having ANY alcohol in your system (BAC of .02). Commercial truck drivers can lose their CDL license for a BAC of .04. Refusing a breath or blood test results in one-year loss of license, even if DUI charges are dropped or you are found not guilty. Driving while your license is suspended (Class B misdemeanor) adds one year to your license suspension.
