The punishment for a first DUI varies by state but often includes fines, license suspension, probation, mandatory alcohol education, and possibly community service. Jail time is rare for first offenses but may apply in cases of high blood alcohol content or accidents.
Drunk driving suspects can expect to spend at least two hours answering questions, being fingerprinted and photographed, and submitting to chemical testing of the driver's blood alcohol content (BAC). A driver could spend a few hours before they are released, or it may take up to a few days.
Drivers may end a case in a matter of days if they plead guilty or immediately accept a plea bargain offered by the prosecution. DUI cases that go to trial can take over a year to resolve in some cases. DUI cases are often broken up into different stages.
