what happens if you get a DUI in another state?

Ok don't listen the first person. If you're in a different state you have to abide by that states laws. And also I'm assuming he blew between a .08 and .15? .015 is lower than .08. But anyways, I don't know Colorado's laws but if this is his first offense I don't think he will go to jail. However, he should expect a nice hefty fine. If he doesn't go to his court date or doesn't pay the fine there will be a warrant for his arrest out of Colorado. Will Colorado authorities ask that he be extradited back to Nebraska for that? It's possible but unlikely. But if he tries to get any jobs that do background investigations the warrant will be there. But again, if it's a first offense he probably won't do any jail time. Get a lawyer and the lawyer will plea it down.

If you commit an offense in another state, you are subject to the penalties from that state, irregardless of your state of residence. Also, a conviction for DUI in another state will be reported to your home state, and the offender may be subject to administrative penalties (suspension or revocation of license) in his/her home state.

He'll still have to get an attorney there and go thru all the court proceedings, it won't just go away. I'm sure there will be no jail time, unless he's a repeat offender......

I think you are subject to the laws of YOUR state and not theirs
