Mid-level DWI change in state could put many in handcuffs - StarTribune.com

Mid-level DWI change in state could put many in handcuffs - StarTribune.com: "The penalties for driving sloppy drunk in Minnesota get substantially tougher in August, a change that could affect thousands of drivers each year.

The Legislature this year lowered the threshold for a gross misdemeanor drunken driving offense to a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of .16 percent. That’s still twice the legal limit for misdemeanor DWIs, but it’s four percentage points lower than the previous trigger for seriously impaired driving violations."
