Understanding OWI Charges in Wisconsin
In Wisconsin, OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) charges apply when someone operates a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. OWI can also result from driving under the influence of drugs or other intoxicating substances, such as marijuana or certain prescription medications. Although OWI, DUI, and DWI are often used interchangeably, Wisconsin law formally uses "OWI" to refer to this type of charge.
Misdemeanor OWI Charges in Wisconsin
For second and third OWI offenses, Wisconsin treats these as misdemeanors, but that doesn’t mean they’re minor. Even a misdemeanor charge can lead to substantial fines, license suspension, and other penalties.
