Number of DUI Offenses & Penalties in Mississippi
Like most criminal cases, the specific penalties you may face are somewhat dependent on the circumstances surrounding your arrest. For example, if a child was in the car at the time of the arrest or if someone is injured as a result of the offense, the penalties levied against the driver will be increased.
Common Mississippi DUI penalties include:
- First Offense - Up to $1,000 in fines, up to 48 hours in jail, suspended license, & mandatory driver education program
- Second Offense - Up to $1,500 in fines, up to 1-year in jail (5-days minimum), suspended license, mandatory 10-days of community service, & mandatory ignition interlock device
- Third Offense - Up to $5,000 in fines, up to 5-years in jail (1-year minimum), suspended license, & mandatory ignition interlock device
When people normally think about the negative effects of a DUI conviction, jail time and fines are what most often come to mind. However, there are several other consequences that may be imposed upon those convicted for DUI.
- A DUI conviction will stay on your driving record for 5-years during which time any additional DUI convictions will increase the punishment.
- A conviction will remain on your criminal record for life.
- A conviction can affect employment, especially if your job requires driving
- A conviction will require you to obtain SR-22 insurance, or high-risk insurance, for 3-years.
