NEW DUI RULE BENEFITS FIRST OFFENDERS
April 27, 2015
An amendment to the Mississippi DUI law last fall steps back from 30 plus years of toughening the consequences of a DUI arrest, at least for first- time arrestees. Now, if a first-time arrestee submitted to a breath test, or a breath test was unavailable, he or she will be eligible for non-adjudication--that is, avoidance of a conviction, upon meeting certain conditions. Even suspension of the driving privilege may be avoided if the driver is willing to have an ignition interlock device installed in the vehicle. For more details or consultation, call 662 234-0766 for assistance.
