Wyoming DUI Record Search

The driving under the influence (DUI) laws in Wyoming set the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit at .08. If the drivers BAC is .08 or higher, then they will be charged with a DUI. A driver can also be arrested for a DUI if the police officer believes, and sees evidence, that the driver is too impaired to safely operate the vehicle even if their BAC is below the .08 limit. Another way to receive a DUI is to refuse the BAC test when the police officer tries to administer it. Drivers with a BAC above .15 will be charged with an aggravated DUI, which brings harsher penalties. Wyoming also has a zero tolerance law, so drivers under the age of 21 have a BAC limit of .02.
