Arizona Cranks Up Penalties for “Extreme” DUI

By Editor

Arizona governor Janet Napolitano signed into effect another new chapter in what is becoming one of the country’s toughest set of DUI laws.

State legislators passed a bill that would increase penalties for first DUI offenders convicted of “extreme DUI,” or a DUI with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.15% or higher (roughly double the legal limit of 0.08%).

Now, “extreme” DUI offenders would serve a full 30 days in jail, an increase from the current 10-day minimum.
