There are three separate types of
DUI cases in South Carolina that are classified as felonies. They are:
Felony DUI with Death: This offense carries a minimum of one year to a maximum of twenty five
years imprisonment.
Felony DUI with Great Bodily Injury: This offense carries a minimum of 30 days to
a maximum of fifteen years imprisonment.
DUI 4th: This offense carries a minimum of one year to a maximum of seven years
