Begay v. United States, 553 U.S. 137 (2008), is a United States Supreme Court case which held that felony driving while intoxicated is not a "violent felony" for purposes of the Armed Career Criminal Act.

Larry Begay had multiple felony convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) in New Mexico.

He was found to be in possession of a firearm when he was arrested by the local police in a domestic incident.

The pre-sentencing report showed that Begay had been convicted twelve times of DUI.

A divided United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit panel affirmed the decision to treat the DUIs as "violent felonies.
