The penalties for DWI intensify depending on the number of prior DWI convictions. • For your first DWI offense, which is a Class B Misdemeanor, you may receive a fine up to $2000 and/or jail time for 3 to 180 days, and a driver’s license suspension for 90 to 365 days. • For a second offense, which is a Class A Misdemeanor, you may receive a fine up to $4000 and/or jail time for 30 days to one year, and a driver’s license suspension for 180 days to two years. • For a third offense, which is a 3rd Degree Felony, you may receive a fine up to $10,000 and/or jail time for two to ten years, and a driver’s license suspension for 180 days to two years.
