What is aggravated DUI under West Virginia law?
In West Virginia, you can be convicted of aggravated DUI if you are operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level (BAC) of 0.15% or more. An aggravated DUI conviction carries harsher penalties than a non-aggravated DUI conviction in West Virginia, including a jail sentence ranging from two days to six months, of which twenty-four hours must be actually served through incarceration, and a mandatory license suspension of 45 days, followed by a mandatory ignition interlock device in any vehicle driven for 270 days.
