While the allegation does not involve a car or truck, operating a bicycle or boat while intoxicated carries similar and very serious consequences. Take action immediately following an arrest for a bicycle or boating DUII. Do not try to resolve it on your own. Contact an experienced criminal defense attorney at Jensen & Leiberan.
Biking Under the Influence (DUII)
There is no distinction. If you are caught operating any mode of transportation while under the influence, you can be arrested. As a bicyclist, you may believe that Oregon or Washington DUII laws do not apply to the operation of a non-motorized vehicle. You may think you are exercising safety. That misconception can lead to an arrest and possible conviction.
If you have been arrested for biking or boating while under the influence of alcohol, contact Lee Pritchard of Jensen & Leiberan at 503-641-7990.
Boating UNder the influence (DUII)
Boating under the influence of alcohol carries the same penalties as driving a car. However, diversion programs are not available for a DUII received while you are boating. Law enforcement will not hesitate to detain you if they suspect criminal activity. You may be surprised and embarrassed, and may want to resolve the case quickly without legal representation
Resist that urge and secure the services of an experienced boating DUII attorney at Jensen & Leiberan.
