If you are under 21 and are found to have a BAC of 0.15% or more, you can be charged with extreme DUI. If this is a 3rd offense DUI or someone is injured, you may receive an aggravated DUI charge which is felony DUI in Arizona and will carry more severe penalties. A conviction can also affect your son or daughter if they attend high school or college due to a zero-alcohol tolerance policy or school sanctions.
