2. Haughey & Deters: Drunk driving is a first-degree misdemeanor in Ohio. A conviction carries a minimum jail sentence of three days for a first offense, plus up to a $1,000 fine. However, for most people, the most serious consequence is the stigma of a DUI and the loss of driving privileges. For people who need to drive for a living, a DUI/OVI/DWI conviction can be a job killer. Should I Plead Guilty? Driving under the influence (known as operating a vehicle while intoxicated or OVI in Ohio) is a serious charge. Many people who are arrested for DUI/OVI/DWI plead guilty in an attempt to put the charges behind them. However, three years down the road, you will still be paying for high-risk auto insurance on your vehicle. Most people simply can't afford a drunk driving conviction. Multiple DUI/OVI offenses are even more serious. If you have a second DUI/OVI/DWU conviction in six years, the jail time increases to 10 days. For a third offense, you face a jail sentence of 30 days to one year. A fourth DUI/OVI/DWI in six years is a felony, subject to a sentence of 18 months in prison.
