Guilty of your second DUI in Arizona? If so, a second or subsequent DUI in Arizona means jail time if you’re found guilty.
Depending on whether the DUI is charged as a regular DUI or an extreme DUI, Arizona statutes pile on the jail for a second DUI. There is a big difference between jail and prison. So long as the DUI is charged as a misdemeanor, you will not be going to prison. DUI with a suspended license; however, is a felony and if convicted, you will be serving time in prison with no possibility of house arrest or work release.
If you leave the state and fail to show up for your court appearance, a warrant will issue for your arrest. If you are from out of state and travel to Arizona and are charged with a DUI while here, you would be wise to hire an Arizona Criminal Defense attorney to represent you.
