Arkansas DWI and DUI Laws

Arkansas DWI under ACA § 5-65-103 applies to drivers 21 and over with a BAC of 0.08% or higher. A first conviction carries up to one year in jail, a fine of $150 to $1,000, and a six-month suspension. Penalties increase for second and third offenses within a 10-year lookback period. A fourth DWI in 10 years is a felony with one to six years in prison.

The 10-year lookback replaced a five-year lookback in 2021. Prior convictions within that window count toward escalating charges and penalties. Arkansas does not permit plea bargaining DWI to a lesser offense.

Underage DUI under ACA § 5-65-303 applies to drivers under 21 with a BAC between 0.02% and 0.08%. First offense penalties include a fine, a 90-day suspension, community service, and mandatory alcohol education. The implied consent law under ACA § 5-65-202 means refusing a chemical test triggers an automatic 180-day suspension on the first refusal and the refusal can be admitted into evidence at trial.
