MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — A Mobile woman has been jailed on charges accusing her of driving her vehicle into two cars and a pedestrian before fleeing on foot, bringing along her 6-year-old son while carrying a bottle of wine.
Police Cpl. Marcus Young said Yanique Mauldin, 32, abandoned her vehicle and ran from officers Sunday afternoon.
Mauldin, who is already on probation for an assault conviction in 2004, was held on charges including felony leaving the scene of the accident, resisting arrest and misdemeanor DUI. [...]
That's a rather "yanique" name.
I wonder what is the difference between misdemeanor DUI and regular DUI?

As for the difference in misdemeanor and regular DUI, according to Section 32-5A-191(5)(h), four or more convictions for DUI is a Class C felony. Anything below is still considered a misdemeanor, although there are stiff fines and penalties.
