About This Booking Record
OVI / Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence
OVI (Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence), Ohio Revised Code §4511.19, makes it illegal to operate a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. A first offense is a first-degree misdemeanor generally carrying three days to six months in jail, fines of roughly $565–$1,075, and a license suspension of one to three years. Penalties increase with high blood-alcohol readings or prior offenses; repeat OVIs can become felonies.
Marijuana Possession
Possession of Marijuana under Ohio Revised Code §2925.11 is a minor misdemeanor for small amounts (up to 100 grams), generally resulting in a fine of up to $150 with no jail time. Larger amounts escalate to higher misdemeanor and felony charges.
