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.
