Arkansas DWI and DUI Law

ACA § 5-65-103 sets the DWI standard statewide. Driving with a BAC of 0.08% or higher is a per se DWI offense. A first offense is a misdemeanor with up to one year in jail, $150 to $1,000 in fines, and a six-month license suspension. Second offense within 10 years brings 7 days to 1 year in jail, $400 to $3,000 fine, and 24-month suspension. Third offense: 90 days to 1 year jail, $900 to $5,000 fine, 30-month suspension.

A fourth or later DWI within 10 years is a Class D felony. Penalty is 1 to 6 years in prison, a fine of $900 to $5,000, and a 4-year license revocation. Bradley County Circuit Court handles these felony DWI cases. The circuit clerk maintains those records.

Arkansas does not allow DWI charges to be plea-bargained to a lesser offense. If someone is charged with DWI, the charge stays as DWI in the record no matter what happens with sentencing. This rule is written into the statute. When searching court records, you will not find DWI cases listed as reckless driving or any other lesser charge in Arkansas.

Under ACA § 5-65-202, the implied consent law, all drivers who are stopped for DWI and refuse a chemical test face automatic administrative license suspension by the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration. These suspensions happen separately from criminal court penalties and are administered by DFA Driver Control at (501) 682-1631.
