DUI Charges in Tennessee
Tennessee takes DUI cases very seriously. A first-time DUI can carry penalties such as:
- Jail time (up to 48 hours minimum for a first offense)
- Fines and court costs
- Mandatory license suspension
- Ignition interlock device requirements
- Alcohol safety school or treatment programs
For repeat offenses, the penalties increase significantly—including longer jail time, higher fines, and extended license revocation.
Public Intoxication Charges
A charge of public intoxication in Tennessee may not seem as serious as a DUI, but it can still have lasting consequences. A conviction can:
- Create a permanent criminal record
- Impact employment opportunities
- Lead to fines or mandatory programs
If you’ve been charged with DUI or public intoxication, don’t wait to get help. The sooner you speak with an attorney, the more options you may have.
