Jason v. Commonwealth

Facts:

The Commonwealth of Virginia appealed an order of the Circuit Court of Virginia Beach, which dismissed a habitual offender show cause order against defendant. The trial court ruled that defendant's prior conviction under Chesterfield County, Va., Code § 14.1-1 (DUI ordinance) was invalid insofar as it conflicted with Va. Code Ann. § 15.1-132 because the DUI ordinance provided for a lesser punishment.

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-270 previously provided that a DUI conviction was a Class 1 misdemeanor, but defined no punishment for such a violation. The penalty for a class 1 misdemeanor was set forth in Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-11, which was not contained in Article 2 of Chapter 7 of Title 18.2 of the Code of Virginia (Va. Code. Ann. § 18.2-266 et seq.). Chesterfield County, Va., Ordinance § 14.1-1 regarding the offense of DUI did not further define the penalty for the offense but specifically adopted all of Article 2 of Chapter 7 of Title 18.2 of the Code of Virginia (Va. Code Ann. § 18.2 et seq.).
