DUI and child endangerment.
Question Details:
I got a DUI with a 2 yr old child in the car. I blew a .086. Will I get a criminal /child endangerment charge in the state of Montana?
If you are a first time offender with a BAC of.08% or higher, there will be imposed a minimum fine of $300 and up to 10 days in the county jail. If this is a repeat offense, then the penalties are increased. Additionally fines may be doubled if a passenger under 16 years old is riding in your car.
You can also be charged with the separate offense of child endangerment which carries possible incarceration and a fine.
Being a first time offender will help (although you didn't specify that this was the case), however, these are serious charges. You need to consult with a criminal attorney in your area.
