DWI/DUI charges are not limited to driving under the influence of alcohol. You can also be charged with DWI/DUI for driving under the influence of illegal drugs or prescription drugs. The following pages provide more information about the DWI/DUI charges:
- DWI/DUI defense: Without a lawyer you have no negotiating power with the prosecutor, which means no ability to get your DWI charge reduced.
- DWI/DUI – first offense: For a first offense, it may be possible to reduce DWI/DUI charges to a nonalcohol offense such as careless and imprudent driving.
- Boat DWI/DUI: Boating while intoxicated can result in fines, the requirement to take a boating safety class, and a criminal record.
- Felony DWI/DUI (repeat offender): A third or greater DWI/DUI offense is charged as a felony in Missouri and can result in life-changing consequences.
- Involuntary manslaughter: If you cause an accident while intoxicated that results in another person's death, you will be charged with involuntary manslaughter.
- Minor in possession of alcohol: In Missouri, there is no tolerance for minors who are arrested for possession of alcohol.
