In the state of West Virginia, if you’re charged with a DUI and it’s your first offense, the penalties can vary. In the state of West Virginia, we have two types of first offense, DUI cases. One is what we call non aggravated, where the blood alcohol concentration is to be between a 0.08 and a 0.15.
And then we have aggravated DUI first offenses where the blood alcohol concentration is alleged to have been higher, above a 0.15. Those consequences can potentially be far more exacting. So in the state of West Virginia, we have really two types of first offense, DUIs, non aggravated and aggravated.
