A first-time drunk driving arrest can result in serious penalties, including jail time and loss of driving privileges. When a Tennessee driver is arrested for drunk driving a second time, the potential penalties are more serious and can have a long-term impact on the future, including employment opportunities. While these penalties are serious, the correct defense strategy may be successful in challenging the prosecution’s case.

An individual who has been charged with drunk driving a second time in Tennessee could face fines as high as $3,500 and spend more than a month in jail. These penalties are not only significant, they will have an impact on work, school and reputation. It is important to note that even after a second DUI, an individual may retain his or her right to combat these charges with a carefully developed defense strategy.
