​

The City of Frontenac is a municipality within St. Louis County, Missouri.

​

The municipal court in Frontenac is located at 10555 Clayton Rd
Frontenac, MO  63131.

​

The police department in Frontenac patrols the city quite proactively, in search of alleged law violators.

​

If they find a person they believe is violating the law, they will arrest and turn the matter over for prosecution.

​

People who are arrested in Frontenac are often charged with offenses like DWI, assault, weed possession, and others.

​

If a person is arrested for DWI, they might be facing a municipal case in Frontenac, or perhaps their case will be sent to the St. Louis Circuit Court to be filed as a felony DWI - if it is discovered that the driver has two or more prior DWI cases.

​

If your DWI becomes a felony DWI charge, the punishment you will face is dramatically different than for a municipal (night) court case, or even a state court misdemeanor.

​

There are different levels of felony charges for a DWI case - which level is charged depends on how many priors (intoxication-related driving offenses) the driver has received in the past.

​

All of the felony DWI charges carry a mandatory minimum jail sentence. 

​

The mandatory sentences vary based on number of priors - a low of 30 days in jail to the harshest - serve a minimum of 2 years flat before parole is even possible.

​

For some of the lower range felony charges, the jail time can sometimes be avoided by being granted the option to do community service or participate in a court "treatment" program called "DWI court".

​

Counties in Missouri have their own DWI court programs, and while they are similar, the conditions involved do differ from county to county.    

 

Even if your DWI is a first-time offense, it is still a very serious charge, which can have devastating effects on your life.

​

If your DWI case is not handled properly, even a first offense can result in unnecessary consequences.
