Answer:
An OVI allegation involving a child in the vehicle can lead to additional child-endangering charges. The number of children and the circumstances may affect the case, and a judge may consider the situation when deciding the sentence.
An OVI investigation becomes more serious when children are passengers. This video discusses the possibility of a child-endangering charge in addition to OVI, including separate allegations involving each child.
The circumstances can also affect sentencing. A judge may view proven impaired driving with young passengers as an aggravating concern rather than impose the minimum available penalties.
An OVI defense should consider the additional charges and the potential consequences together.
