In South Carolina, a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) can be classified as a felony under certain circumstances, such as if it results in great bodily injury or death to another person. Typically, a first or second DUI offense is treated as a misdemeanor. However, a third DUI offense within a ten-year period is considered a felony. Penalties for felony DUI can include significant fines and imprisonment.
