The DUII Law in Oregon
Drunk driving is charged as DUII in Oregon, at a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or more.
Driving in Oregon is consent to a breath or blood test when an officer has cause to suspect DUII; the license case that follows a refusal or a failed test is run by the DMV, separately from the criminal case.
Who Makes DUII Arrests in Morrow County
The Morrow County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Boardman make the DUII arrests in Morrow County.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Morrow County: the Morrow County Liquor Commission (state agency); the Morrow County State Police (state police); the Morrow County State Police makes the arrests on the state highways.
Together, the two agencies in Morrow County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 389 arrests to the FBI that year, all offenses together; the FBI's count for Morrow County does not break DUII out.
