If you are charged with a DUI while having an underage passenger, you will not only face DUI penalties, but you may also be charged with misdemeanor child endangerment. Don’t wait to speak to our Fresno DUI lawyer to begin your defense.

DUI Sentencing Enhancement

There are different charges that may be used to enhance a DUI sentence to better reflect the severity of the offense. For intoxicated drivers with a person under the age of 14 in the car, a sentence enhancement they may receive is “DUI with a child.” Sentence enhancements are used to help prosecutors obtain more serious punishments, such as longer time in jail or more significant fines. This sentence enhancement will only be applied if the child is under 14 years of age.

Penalties For a DUI With a Minor

The penalties for a DUI vary, depending on the number of times you have been convicted of a DUI. Repeated convictions can increase the severity of your sentence. Because a DUI with a minor is considered a sentence enhancement, you will be facing regular DUI penalties, as well as an additional penalty for the enhancement.

These additional penalties are:

  • First Time: 48 hours in jail
  • Second Time: 10 days in jail
  • Third Time: 30 days in jail
  • Fourth Time: 90 days in jail
