What is Aggravated DUI?
When law enforcement pulls you over in a traffic stop or in cases in which it is claimed that you were exhibiting signs of intoxication, the first thing they want to see is your driver's license. If you do not have a current license due to a suspension or revocation, it is likely that you will become even more suspicious to the officer checking you out. The DUI aspect of the case makes the situation even more dangerous, as now you will be facing a charge of Aggravated DUI. Those who have had a series of DUI convictions have enhanced penalties in the state of Arizona, and a felony charge for a 3rd offense within 7 years results in charges of Aggravated DUI. Those who are accused of driving under the influence that have a child under age 15 in the car at the time of the charge also will face felony charges; they may also run into trouble with Child Protective Services for neglect or child endangerment.
