Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
DUI is not a DWI. DUI applies when a person under 21 is caught driving with a detectable odor of alcohol on his person but is not considered legally intoxicated. This is a class "C" misdemeanor. However, it has much more serious consequences than most class "C" matters. For example, your license can be suspended. If convicted you will have to complete community service work and attend alcohol classes.
