mrandyk Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 If I got caught driving with a .09 BAL while underage I would have gotten a hell of a lot more than a $400 fine and revoked license. Quote Link to comment

You also don't live in Ohio. What he received is pretty normal. (he also had to attend an alcohol intervention program for three days). This is not special treatment for a football player.

jaws Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Thing is, this was an OVI, not even a DUI, which the title of this thread was misleading. He was fined, but not arrested as there's no jailtime associated with an OVI An OVI is the same thing as a DUI. https://www.ohiobar.org/ForPublic/Resources/LawYouCanUse/Pages/LawYouCanUse-368.aspx If I got caught driving with a .09 BAL while underage I would have gotten a hell of a lot more than a $400 fine and revoked license. It is a good chance you would have gotten the same thing if it happened in Ohio. Quote Link to comment

Read the link; pretty clearly states that DUI, DWI, and OMVI are no longer used in the Ohio court system. 1 Quote Link to comment
