I want to know the difference between OWI and PAC citations. (Police - General)
OWI = Operating While Intoxicated -OR- DWI = Driving While Intoxicated - ss346.63(1)a
(OWI & DWI are commonly interchangeable terms, and they refer to the same state statute)
PAC = Prohibited Alcohol Content - ss346.63(1)b.
"PAC" citation is issued based on the results of your blood test when you are arrested for drinking & driving and your blood/alcohol content is higher than the legal limit of .08 (Change from .10, effective October 1, 2003). This citation is commonly sent to you via U.S. Mail.
You may be found guilty of either the OWI or PAC violation, however if you plead to one of the charges, the other charge is dismissed. WI State Statutes
