Re: dwi
No. Colorado counts lifetime offenses. You face a long potential jail time if convicted. Get a DUI lawyer ASAP.
Re: dwi
Yes and no. For purposes of the DMV you may be considered a first time offender if your priors do not appear in your Colorado driving history. This is good because you'd be subject to a much shorter driver's license restriction. Court is another matter and you are looking at significant jail time, especially in Weld County.
