BWI charges vary, depending on factors like previous offenses and BAC levels. Here’s a closer look at the different degrees of BWI:


1. Misdemeanor BWI: This applies to first-time offenders or those with a BAC below 0.08%. Penalties may involve fines (up to $1,000) and possible short-term jail time.


2. Gross Misdemeanor BWI: Offenders with a BAC of 0.08% or more or those with prior BWI convictions may face gross misdemeanor charges. This can result in fines up to $3,000 and jail time of up to one year.


3. Felony BWI: Certain aggravating factors, such as multiple prior offenses or causing physical harm, can lead to felony charges. This category carries severe penalties, including fines up to $14,000 and imprisonment for several years.


Each offense affects your ability to return to boating, which is especially significant for avid anglers.
