How can someone with 3 or more DWI’s get off with 6 months probation and such a small fine??? And yet he still is free to run the roads drinking like nothing has happened????? So when will the prosecutors step up and do the job they were elected to do? Let me guess he needs to take a innocent person life or worse yet a young child before they do something? It just floors me.
I feel the same! THREE DWI’s and he’s still walking around free as a bird to keep on doing it?!?!?! I agree and I certainly hope it’s not true but if this man goes out and kills someone’s parent or child, there will be no one to blame but the one that keeps turning him loose in Washington County to do it all over again.
Because it’s exceptible in Washington county. Washington county has the second highest alcohol consumption per capita in the state.
Also it doesn’t say if he lost his license or had it revoked! That’s a better question as I saw him driving in town today! I guess it will take someone being killed for the local courts to punish him correctly! Shame on our court system!
