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.

Cocaine Possession

Possession of Cocaine under Ohio Revised Code §2925.11 is a felony. The degree depends on the amount and circumstances: generally a fifth-degree felony (up to 12 months in jail and fines up to $2,500) for small quantities. Larger amounts or repeat offenses can trigger higher felony classifications with longer sentences.
