Kingfisher, OK asked in Criminal Law, DUI / DWI, Federal Crimes and Juvenile Law for Oklahoma

Q: If my first DUI was on my juvenile record, will my second DUI be a felony?

One of my friends got his 3rd DUI about 2 weeks ago. He has two previous misdemeanor DUI’s on his juvenile record. He was ordered to go to victims impact classes and to attend AA after he completed a year long rehab. He hasn’t completed all of his classes and is behind on court/probation payments. He has two misdemeanor public intoxication charges on his adult record. Can they charge him with felony aggravated DUI even though his first two DUI’s were on his juvenile record?
