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.
Disorderly Conduct
Disorderly conduct (Ohio Revised Code §2917.11) covers behavior such as fighting, threatening, or creating a risky or offensive condition for others, including while intoxicated. It is usually a minor misdemeanor, rising to a fourth-degree misdemeanor in certain circumstances.
