DUI charges that become felonies
Mississippi treats repeat DUI as a felony. A third conviction with the offenses committed within five years is a felony, with a fine of $2,000 to $5,000 and one to five years in custody. A fourth or subsequent conviction is a felony regardless of when the earlier offenses happened. If this is your first charge, start with first-offense DUI defense instead.
