A first-offense DUI in Arizona under A.R.S. § 28-1381 carries:
- Mandatory jail — minimum 24 hours, with up to 10 days suspendable via home detention or interlock-eligibility
- License suspension — 90 days administrative for a failed breath test (1 year for refusal)
- Ignition interlock — 12 months on Regular DUI; longer on Extreme
- Fines and assessments — typically $1,500–$2,500 range
- Permanent criminal record — Arizona does not expunge DUI
- Collateral consequences — insurance, employment, security clearance, professional license, immigration
Extreme DUI (BAC ≥ 0.15) and Aggravated DUI carry substantially heavier mandatory minimums. See Arizona DUI penalties for the full picture.
