South Dakota DUI Penalties
When you operate a motorized vehicle in the State of South Dakota and are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you can be convicted of a criminal offense called Driving under the Influence. DUI is considered a class 1 misdemeanor and has serious implications that can last a life time. Even if it is your first offense, you can be sentenced up to one year in jail with significant fines. The DUI becomes a felony offense when it is your 3rd DUI Offense. Convictions that are more than 10 years old do not count in determining how many prior DUIs you have.
