In Indianapolis like most areas of Indiana, anyone stopped by police with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) over the legal limit of .08 or with any schedule I or II controlled substance or its metabolite in their system will be charged with a Class C Misdemeanor. Schedule I or II controlled substance may include: marijuana, cocaine, GHB, methamphetamine, hydrocodone, Morphine, Amphetamine, Methadone, Heroin, etc. A Indianapolis driver who is found to have a BAC of .15 or greater, or endangers a person (including themselves) while driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be charged with a Class A Misdemeanor.

A second DUI or OWI violation within a period of five years is considered a Class D Felony. A person that causes serious injury to another person while driving with a BAC of .08 or has a schedule I or II controlled substance in their system will also be charged with a class D Felony. If there has been a previous OWI or DUI conviction within a five year period, the person will be charged with a Class C Felony. A Indianapolis driver with a BAC of .08 or higher, or with a schedule I or II controlled substance in their system that kills another person will be charged with a Class C Felony. If a Indianapolis driver who kills a person has a previous DUI or OWI conviction within a five year period he/she will be charged with a Class B Felony. There will be a separate charge for each person hurt or killed by the impaired driver.

Indiana penalties for each class of infraction:

Class C Misdemeanor: up to 60 days in prison and a fine of up to $500.

Class A Misdemeanor: up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

Class D Felony: up to three years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Class C Felony: up to eight years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Class B Felony: up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

An open container of alcohol in the passenger compartment while the vehicle is running or while the vehicle is in the right-of-way of a public highway, will be charged with a Class C infraction. An open container is defined by: a container that has been opened, a broken seal, or a container that is missing some of its content. A Class C Infraction is not considered a moving traffic violation. However, if the person has a previous judgment or conviction under this law within a 12 month period, they may have their driver’s license suspension for up to a year. If a Indianapolis driver who knowingly consumes alcohol while the vehicle is being driven on a public highway may be charged with a Class B Infraction and fined up to $1,000.
