The penalties for a DUI can range depending on the specific circumstances. You may only face misdemeanor charges for a first-time offense in South Carolina as long as the behavior did not result in any property or physical damage. However, a first offense can lead to an indefinite suspension of the person's driver's license if he or she had a blood alcohol concentration higher than 0.15, which is well above the legal limit.
Embezzlement charges often accompany crimes against IRS
Often, the commission of one crime in South Carolina also implicates other crimes. When a person embezzles money from an employer or organization, the activity tends to require hiding that newfound money from the Internal Revenue Service. Thus, an embezzler may not report this income, however illegally obtained, on his or her income taxes.
