DWI Laws in Arkansas

Arkansas law defines DWI as operating a vehicle with a BAC of 0.08% or above. DUI covers drivers under 21 with a BAC of 0.02% to under 0.08%. The terms are not interchangeable under state law. Each has its own penalty structure.

A first DWI in Arkansas brings up to one year in jail, a $150 to $1,000 fine, and a 6-month suspension. Second offense within 5 years: at least 7 days in jail, $400 to $3,000 fine, 24-month suspension. Third offense within 5 years: 90 days minimum jail, up to $5,000 fine, 30-month suspension. Fourth offense within 10 years: felony, 1 to 6 years in state prison.

Arkansas does not let prosecutors bargain a DWI charge down to a lesser offense. The implied consent law means all drivers on state roads are deemed to have agreed to chemical testing. Refusing a test triggers automatic suspension and that refusal can be brought up at trial.
