Minnesota Third Degree DWI
Overview of Minnesota's Levels of DWI Charges: Third Degree DWI
The Third Degree DWI is considered a gross misdemeanor. A driver with one prior DUI violation or alcohol-related driver's license revocation within the last ten years can be charged with and convicted of a Third Degree DWI. With no prior violations, a driver can be charged with a Third Degree DWI if, according to Minnesota law, an aggravating factor is involved and/or the driver refuses chemical testing of blood, breath or urine.
A Minnesota criminal defense lawyer can help to reduce penalties and sentencing. An individual convicted of a Third Degree DWI or Refusal to Submit to Chemical Testing can face up to one year in jail, license suspension up to 180 days and a fine of up to $3,000.
