2. Calhoun, Kademenos & Childress: Ohio DUI/OVI Charges and Consequences If convicted of your first drunk driving offense, you may be subject to a minimum three days in jail or a confinement alcohol intervention program. You will receive a minimum six month license suspension and a $1,000 fine. Depending on the number of DUI convictions you have had in the past six years, the minimum consequences increase. Charges can be different depending on your blood alcohol content (BAC) level. In Ohio, you are legally intoxicated if your breathalyzer test registers a .08 BAC or higher. If you blow between .08 and .17, you will be charged with a low-tier OVI. Blowing above a .17 is a high-tier charge, which increases the severity of consequences. Breathalyzer Tests and Field Sobriety Tests Ñ Can I Refuse? On your first OVI offense, you can refuse to take a breathalyzer without being charged with a separate offense. However, you can be charged with a misdemeanor if you refuse on subsequent offenses. If you have been pulled over for suspicion of DUI, it is important to remember that you are not required to do field sobriety tests in the state of Ohio. Politely tell the officer that you are not intoxicated and prefer not to do the sobriety tests.
