4th+ driving after revocation in Wisconsin--penalty?


I've been trying to find out what the penalty for this is and can only find the penalties for drinking and driving---my ex is facing a jury trial for this(I'm hoping he goes away cause he's an abusive jerk)---can someone help me figure out how much jail time he will get?

OAR-4th would be considered a habitual traffic offender. See below. Looks like max is up to $5,000 fine and 180 days jail.

343.44(2)(b) Except as provided in pars. (am) and (as), any person who violates sub. (1) (b) or (d) shall be fined not more than $2,500 or imprisoned for not more than one year in the county jail or both. In imposing a sentence under this paragraph, or a local ordinance in conformity with this paragraph, the court shall review the record and consider the following:...

351.08 Operation of motor vehicle by habitual traffic offender or repeat habitual traffic offender prohibited;penalty; enforcement. Any person who is convicted of operating a motor vehicle in this state while the revocation under this chapter is in effect shall, in addition to any penalty imposed under s. 343.44, be fined not to exceed $5,000 and imprisoned not to exceed 180 days. No portion of the sentence may be suspended, except in a case where operating was made necessary by a situation of emergency, as determined by the court. Any person imprisoned under this section, on his or her request, may be allowed Huber law work privileges under s. 303.08 or may be allowed to work under s. 303.10 (3). For the purpose of enforcing this section, in any case in which the accused is charged with driving a motor vehicle while his or her license, permit or privilege to drive is suspended or revoked or is charged with driving without a license, the court before hearing the charge shall determine whether the person is a habitual traffic offender or repeat habitual traffic offender and therefore barred from operating a motor vehicle on the highways of this state.

In my jurisdiction the 4th DUI is a felony... your looking at up to 3 years in prison.

Edit: Fourth DUI in Wisconsin is $600 to $2000 fine and 60 days to one year in jail... Fifth DUI is $600 to $10,000 fine and 6 months to 6 years in prison.

Habitual; bet on 90 days minimum
