The DUI laws in Arizona are very strict. For a First Time DUI, with a blood alcohol result above .20, also known as an "Extreme DUI,” the statutory punishment is:

• Jail: 45 days (some people may be home detention eligible (after 3 days in custody)).
• Fines: About $3,240, plus jail/home detention costs and $80 monitoring fee.
• Screening and counseling required: Yes.
• Driver's license suspension: 90-day suspension (with a potential 60-day restricted driving period for Arizona license holders after 30 days) or 1-year revocation (with a potential restricted driving period after 90 days upon installation of an ignition interlock device ).
• Interlock: 18 months.
