An OMVI (Operating Motor Vehicle Intoxicated) under 4511.19 in the Ohio Revised Code is a traffic violation and considered a misdemeanor of the 1st degree. It will appear on your driving record indefinitely due to a 20 year look back rule on 2nd offenses and greater.
Due to the fact OMVI's can escalate to felony charges and the State must prove ALL offenses a defendant has committed it may be necessary for a law enforcement agency to fingerprint you and have them recorded with BCI. Every additional charge will get new fingerprints and thus record each infraction as DEFINITELY the person arrested.
When you are checked CRIMINALLY for a background check or employment your records will reflect each OMVI you have been convicted of.
Hopefully this will clear things up for you. No, per se, it is not written on a criminal citation, but yes, it will show up as a criminal charge on your record.
