CourtView: Homer DUI Case Search

Alaska CourtView is the main online tool for searching Homer DUI records. The system is free, publicly available, and updated every day.

It is a good first step before making a formal records request.

Homer Police Department: DUI Arrest Records

The Homer Police Department (HPD) is the primary law enforcement agency within Homer city limits. HPD is at 625 Grubstake Avenue, Homer AK 99603, and can be reached at (907) 235-3150. When a DUI arrest is made by a Homer officer, the arrest report and related documents are held by HPD. These records are not the same as court records and may include additional detail such as officer narratives, dash camera documentation, and field sobriety test results.

To request a Homer police record, contact HPD directly by phone or visit the department during business hours. Include the subject's full name, the date of the incident, and a report or case number if available. HPD processes requests under Alaska's public records law. Some records may be partially redacted depending on the status of the case and the nature of the request. For incidents outside city limits, Alaska State Troopers at the Homer Post handle enforcement and hold separate records.

DMV License Revocation: Homer DUI Cases

A DUI arrest in Homer starts two separate processes running at the same time. The criminal court handles the charge. The Alaska DMV handles administrative license revocation on its own track. The two can produce different outcomes. The license may be revoked even if the criminal case is resolved favorably.

A first DUI conviction in Homer brings a 90-day license revocation. A second offense within 10 years means a one-year revocation. Felony DUI brings a three-year revocation. The DMV process is described at dmv.alaska.gov. Drivers can request a hearing to challenge the revocation, with details at the DMV hearing page. After the revocation period ends, reinstatement steps are at the DMV reinstatement page. Driving records are available through the DMV driving record page.

Alaska DUI Law: Statutes That Govern Homer Cases

First offense: 72-hour minimum jail, $1,500 minimum fine, 90-day revocation. Second offense within 10 years: 20-day minimum, $3,000 minimum fine, one-year revocation. A third DUI within 10 years becomes a Class C felony.

Felony DUI under AS 28.35.032 carries a 120-day minimum jail term, $10,000 minimum fine, and three-year revocation. Refusal of a chemical test under AS 28.35.031 carries the same penalties as a DUI conviction. Commercial drivers face a 0.04% BAC limit under AS 28.33.030.
