An Ocean City DUI is a criminal charge in Maryland.  A person who is suspected of driving under the influence of intoxicating substances in Ocean City may be charged with a DWI or  DUI.  If you have been charged with an Ocean City DUI, you should consider consulting with an experienced Ocean City DUI Lawyer or an Ocean City DWI Lawyer to help you prepare your case. 

Penalties for an Ocean City DUI vary depending on the level of intoxication of the driver, and whether the driver has any previous DUI or DWI convictions.  The first DUI conviction will carry a mandatory fine of $250, license suspension, and alcohol safety classes paid for at the expense of the driver.  If however, the Blood Alcohol Level (BAC) of the driver was between 0.15 and 0.20, the driver will face a mandatory minimum jail sentence of 5 days upon the first Ocean City DUI conviction.  If the BAC was above .21, the mandatory minimum jail sentence increases to ten days.  Jail sentences and fines increase after the second or subsequent Ocean City DUI or DWI convictions.  Since penalties are severe, it is wise for anyone facing an DUI or DWI conviction to contact an experienced lawyer.
