Understanding Felony DUI Charges in Colorado

A DUI offense may be classified as either a misdemeanor or a felony in Colorado. Both types of charges are serious; however, a felony DUI carries much more severe penalties than a misdemeanor, plus lifetime designation as a convicted felon. You may be charged with felony DUI in the following situations:

• You were convicted of a DUI felony within the last 10 years.
• You have more than one prior DUI conviction on your record.
• There was a minor (anyone under 18) in your vehicle, at the time of your arrest.
• Other alleged crimes occurred before or during your arrest, ranging from property damage to assault to theft.
• You been classified as a habitual traffic offender (HTO) by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
• Your DUI allegedly resulted in the injury or death of another person, which is charged as vehicular assault or vehicular homicide (sometimes called vehicular manslaughter).

Any felony DUI conviction can result in a harsh sentence, including imprisonment, fines, victim restitution, driver's license revocation, court-ordered alcohol or drug counseling, and mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicle.
