Wyoming Driving Under the Influence Law
In common with many other States, a DUI arrest in Wyoming will lead to two cases being brought against the defendant, a criminal case and a Department of Motor Vehicles case. If you have been arrested for DUI in Wyoming, you have limited time to retain your license. Therefore it is essential that you contact a Wyoming DUI lawyer as soon as possible.
Charges for DUI in Wyoming can be prosecuted either on the basis of Blood Alcohol Concentration, which is currently set at a maximum of 0.08%, or through proving impairment through “field sobriety tests”, driving patterns or through the testing of breath, blood or urine. A skilled DUI lawyer will be able to handle each of these situations.
The state of Wyoming will bring into consideration any previous convictions for DUI when sentencing, as long as they are within a 5 year period.
| Conviction | Punishment |
| First | Fine of no more than $750. No minimum jail term. 90 day revocation of license. |
| Second | 1 year license suspension. Fine between $200 and $700. Minimum jail term of 7 days. |
| Third | Fine between $750 and $3000. Suspension of license for 3 years. 30 days jail sentence minimum. |
