What is a Felony DUI?
- Drunk driving caused a person other than the driver to be seriously injured or killed
- The driver has had three or more DUI convictions in a 10-year period
- The driver has previously been convicted of a felony DUI
Wobbler DUI Case
In the state of California it is illegal to drive a vehicle when a person’s blood alcohol content is 0.08% or greater, 0.04% for commercial vehicle drivers, and 0.01% for those under 21 years of age. The type of alcohol (liquor, beer/wine, mixed), number of drinks consumed, and other factors such as medications, fatigue, food consumption, gender and weight can affect someone’s blood alcohol content.
Drunk driving that causes injury is often called a “wobbler” charge in California. This means that the charge may be prosecuted as a misdemeanor or felony at the prosecutor’s discretion. Prosecutors consider the details of the DUI case and the defendant’s criminal history.

Further Consequences of a Felony DUI
The mark of a DUI, felony or not, on a background check can result in a difficult time finding employment. A change in career may be needed if the subject’s job involves driving. Jail time and losing the ability to legally drive with a valid license are life-changing circumstances. Those who live outside the city of Roseville may have a hard time securing transportation when they don’t have a license to drive their own vehicle.
