A felony DUI is a criminal charge that a driver in Colorado could face if he or she receives a DUI or DWAI with three or more previous DUIs/DWAIs on his or her record. With three prior drunk driving convictions, the crime is upgraded from a misdemeanor to a class 4 felony. A DUI could also be charged as a felony if the crime resulted in serious bodily injury (vehicular assault) or death (vehicular homicide).
A felony DUI or DWAI in Colorado can come with up to 6 years of imprisonment (with a minimum of 2 years), as well as 3 years of parole and 48 to 120 hours of mandatory community service. If you are facing a misdemeanor or felony DUI charge in Colorado, contact a DUI defense lawyer immediately.
