How does South Dakota classify a third DWI offense in the manual?
- Class 6 felony
- Class 2 misdemeanor
- Petty offense
- Civil insurance violation
Answer: Class 6 felony. The third DWI listed in the manual is no longer treated as the same misdemeanor level as earlier offenses. It is a Class 6 felony, with possible imprisonment and license loss for no less than one year after release from incarceration. The Class 2 misdemeanor option belongs to different violations, including underage Zero Tolerance and some traffic offenses, not a third DWI. The cue is count escalation: third offense means felony treatment in this penalty list.
