Answer:
OVI penalties depend on prior history and the type of offense. A typical first low-tier offense can involve a three-day jail or driver-intervention requirement, license suspension, and a fine; current statutory amounts should be used when evaluating the case.
The penalties for an Ohio OVI conviction depend on whether there are qualifying prior convictions and whether the allegation involves a high-tier test. Prior offenses can substantially increase the consequences.
For the first-offense, low-tier example discussed in this video, the attorney describes a mandatory three-day jail or driver-intervention component and a one-year license suspension. The intervention program involves 72 hours of education in a hotel setting.
The recording quotes an older minimum fine. Under the current Ohio statute, the first-offense fine range is $565 to [/row_inner_1],075, with court costs and other applicable consequences also requiring review.
