I’m facing an Aggravated DUI in Maricopa County what are the consequences?
Following the period of which your drivers license suspension/revocation an ignition interlock device will be installed on your car to deter drinking and driving. Before the vehicle can be started you must deliver a breath sample into the device. If you refuse to provide a breath sample or the sample exceeds a set blood alcohol level the IID device will log the event, warn you and then an alarm will start until the ignition is either turned off or a clean breath sample is provided.
Aggravated DUI’s in Maricopa County are classified as felonies and the penalties are some of the harshest in the country and are far more severe than those of misdemeanor DUI charges.
