Ohio DUI Felony Charges
In Ohio, a person is charged with felony DUI/OVI if they have been arrested for a fourth OVI within a six-year period, or a sixth DUI within a 20-year period. The State of Ohio does not treat these cases lightly. There is a mandatory minimum of 60 days in jail. Moreover, due to recent changes to the felony drunk driving laws in Ohio, some offenders face a mandatory prison term for a felony drunk driving offense. >
