4th Degree Misdemeanor DWI Charges

In Minnesota, someone accused of driving while impaired for the first time within the past 10 years is typically charged with 4th Degree Misdemeanor DWI, as long as there are no aggravating factors or a test refusal.

When is driving while intoxicated a misdemeanor DWI?

• No child under 16 present in the vehicle;
