A first DUI offense is a misdemeanor. Possible penalties include fines, jail time, mandatory substance abuse evaluation, and a suspended license. The law also covers drug-impaired driving. If a driver's ability is clearly affected, a charge can follow even if the BAC is under the legal limit.
Second offenses are governed by La. R.S. 14:98.1, which adds ignition interlock requirements to the sentence. Third offenses under La. R.S. 14:98.2 become felonies. Fourth offenses under La. R.S. 14:98.3 carry heavier prison terms. Livingston Parish has seen steady population growth over the past two decades, with more vehicles on the road and a corresponding rise in DUI arrests handled by the 21st JDC.
