What Is Considered a DUI in Tennessee?
In Tennessee, a DUI is charged as a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the circumstances of the case. The type of DUI offense charged is based on the driver's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at the time of driving, the driver's previous DUI convictions, and the driver's conduct while driving. If a driver has two or more prior convictions for DUI within the past 10 years, the driver may be charged with a felony DUI even if the driver's BAC is below .10 percent.
