Many states classify “Operating While Intoxicated” as an OWI, DUI or DWI. In Iowa, the law considers a person in violation of the OWI law if the defendant operated a motor vehicle while:

Had an alcohol concentration in excess of .08; or
• Under the influence of alcohol and/or drug; or
• Had “any” amount of controlled substance present in their system.
A person is considered “Under the Influence” if the result of consuming drugs or alcohol affects:
• The person’s emotions and they are visibly excited;
• The person’s judgment is impaired;
• The person has lost control of their bodily actions or movements to any extent; or
• The person’s mental ability has been affected.
If a controlled substance is detected in a person’s system at or near the time they were operating a motor vehicle, they can be charged and potentially convicted of operating while intoxicated even if they were not “impaired” by that substance.
