Fourth Offense Druken Driving Penalties
4th offense drunken driving in WI carries a maximum jail sentence of one year along with huge fines, loss of license, and even vehicle forfeiture. Depending upon the blood alcohol reading, sentences are generally close to the one year maximum, unless the alcohol reading is extremely low (i.e., below .10) and the driving OK. Every county, however, is different, some allowing parts of sentences to be served on electronic monitoring and reductions for sentences for inpatient AODA treatment, and others not considering these things. CDL's are generally impossible to retain, even if the offense did not occur while using the CDL or driving an commercial vehicle. Occupational licenses are still a possibility, depending upon how much time has passed since the previous violation.
