If you have an OVI conviction after September 30, 2008 and you have four or more prior OVI (or equivalent) convictions in the past 20 years, you will be placed on the Ohio Habitual Offender Registry.  The Registry includes the name, address, and date of birth of offenders as well as their date of convictions.  The Registry is accessible to the public.  Offenders remain on the Registry until they no longer have five or more offenses within the past 20 years.

The following offenses constitute “equivalent offenses” for purposes of the statute: Physical Control Offenses (O.R.C. 4511.194); Misdemeanor OVI convictions (both test and refusal cases); OVUAC (underage/juvenile OVI); DUID (driving under the influence of drugs); OVI while operating under a Commercial Driver’s License; Vehicular Assaults (including aggravated vehicular assaults); Vehicular manslaughter; Involuntary manslaughter with alcohol; Vehicular homicide (including aggravated vehicular homicide);

If you face placement on Ohio’s Habitual Offender Registry, please CONTACT Dayton Ohio DUI lawyer Charles M. Rowland II at 937-318-1DUI (318-1384), 1-888-ROWLAND (888-769-5263), or text DaytonDUI (one word) to 50500.  www.DaytonDUI.com has proudly served Dayton and the Miami Valley for over 15 years. “ALL I DO IS DUI DEFENSE”

If you want to find someone who is currently incarcerated in the Ohio prison system, please go to the “OFFENDER SEARCH” page of the Ohio Department of Corrections.  If you need information on the institutions within the Ohio Department of Corrections you can visit an “INTERACTIVE MAP” of each and every Ohio prison.  The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction currently has 31 institutions confining approximately 51,000 inmates. Four of those institutions house female inmates — the Ohio Reformatory for Women, the Franklin Pre-Release Center, the Northeast Pre-Release Center, and the Trumbull Correctional Camp. The Corrections Medical Center serves as a medical hospital for both genders. The Oakwood Correctional Facility houses both male and female inmates in need of intensive psychiatric treatment. The remaining institutions house male inmates of varying security levels. Ohio’s first “supermax” prison, the Ohio State Penitentiary, opened in Youngstown in April, 1998. Ohio also has two boot camps, one for each gender, aimed at young, first-time, non-violent offenders.

The State of Ohio also has two privately-operated prisons: The North Coast Correctional Treatment Facility in Grafton and theLake Erie Correctional Institution in Conneaut.  Below are links to each of the individual institutions within the system.

Ohio’s Definition of an ‘Alcoholic’

June 8th, 2010

Ohio Denies a License to Persons Defined as Alcoholics

In 1996, Ohio amended Ohio Administrative Code 4501:1-1-16(A) to define an “alcoholic” as  one who meets the following criteria:

(1) Is convicted three or more times within the immediately preceding three-year period of division (A) of section 4511.19 of the Revised Code or of a substantially similar municipal ordinance or of a statute of another state or of the United States; or

(2) Is convicted three or more times within a three-year period of any traffic violation where from the evidence presented, the trier of fact finds that alcohol or controlled substances were a contributing factor.

If you meet the definition of an “alcoholic” R.C. 4507.08(D)(1) forbids the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles from issuing a driver’s license unless and until  you can produce a statement that you have successfully completed a treatment program and that you have maintained sobriety continuously for six months from the date of completion of the program.  The Ohio Supreme Court has held that OAC 4501:1-1-16(B)(1) “reasonably defines the term ‘alcoholic’ so as to carry out the legislative purpose of R.c. 4507.08.”   Doyle v. Bureau of Motor Vehicles, 51 Ohio St.3d 46, 554 N.E.2d 97 (1990).   A challenge that OAC 4501:1-1-16(B)(1) violated the Due Process provision of the Ohio Constitution was rejected in Moore v. Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, 54 Ohio St.3d 55, 561 N.E.2d 909 (1990).

If you find yourself of a DUI (now called OVI, operating a vehicle impaired) call Ohio DUI Defense Attorney Charles M. Rowland II.  He has handled hundreds of drunk driving cases and will aggressively fight to get your life back! 1-888-ROWLAND.

SCRAM Alcohol Monitoring on Probation

May 6th, 2010

SCRAM, which stands for Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring is a bracelet worn by the defendant 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The bracelet will take periodic alcohol tests from the defendant’s ankle and will store that reading until it is uploaded by the Probation Officer. The SCRAM Company will then analyze the data to determine if a defendant is, or has been, drinking.  The SCRAM bracelet is a very sensitive piece of equipment. Those that wear it are prohibited from using any products that contain alcohol (i.e. hairspray, lotions, shampoos, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc.). If any of these products are used while on the program the defendant could be disqualified and placed in jail.  This video shows what it looks like to wear a SCRAM bracelet and a electronic home detention monitor.   If you want to avoid these types of punishments get an Ohio DUI/OVI attorney who will aggressively fight your drunk driving charge.  Charles M. Rowland can be reached at 937-879-9542, 1-888-ROWLAND, by texting DaytonDUI to 50500, or by visiting www.DaytonDUI.com or www.OhioDUIdefense.com.
