Indiana law stipulates that if someone endangers or harms another person while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, then they’ll be charged with a felony. The same applies if someone commits DUI with a minor in the car or has been convicted of multiple DUIs in the past. Elevating a DUI charge to a felony is a serious problem; felony conviction could damage your career, limit your long-term housing options, and cause all types of issues.
