A first time offender who is arrested with a BAC of between 0.08% – 0.15% are charged with a “normal” DWI. A normal DWI conviction will result in penalties being levied against the accused including up to 6 months in prison, a fine of between $100 – $500, and the possibility of a 6 month license suspension. A license suspension can be reduced with the completion of DWI classes and by enrolling in West Virginia’s ignition interlock program.
