When does a DWI DUI become a felony?
In Minnesota, a felony DWI is a serious criminal offense. Accordingly, it takes only a few limited circumstances to get a DWI case charged at that level.
First, if the newest DWI offense is your 4th in a 10 year period, then it is a felony.
A DWI can also be a felony if previously convicted of a felony (possibly even in another state if similar laws) or if previously convicted of a felony criminal vehicular operation or homicide offense prior to this newest offense.
