A first offense DUI in Ohio has the following penalties: ALS (Administative License Suspension) for test refusal = one year license suspension. ALS for a prohibited BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) = 90 day license suspension. Jail – Minimum of three consecutive days or 3-day driver intervention program. Fine – Minimum $375 and not more than $1,075. Court License Suspension – 6 months to 3 years, ignition interlock device may be ordered by the Court. Up to 5 years on probation.

If there was a high tier BAC result (.170 or above), an additional 3 days in jail and restricted license plates are mandatory. These are very serious penalties.
