Aggravated DUI License suspended, canceled, revoked, or refused is defined under A.R.S. 28-1383(A)(1). This section also includes a restriction due to a prior DUI. Indeed, this theory of Aggravated DUI is a Class 4 Felony. Under this section, the State need not prove the suspension, cancelation, or revocation was because of a prior DUI. However, the State typically charges Aggravated DUI here if a person has a DUI history.
