Another hopeless drunk, another day...

Hopefully this time they keep this jackass locked up.

BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) - A Green Bay man was arrested for his 7th OWI after a chase and crash late Tuesday.

At about 10:36 p.m., the Brown County Sheriff's Office was called to Symbas Bar, 2334 Velp Ave., for a report of a stolen vehicle.

to argue a motion, and a bedraggled-looking guy showed up with his lawyer on his ninth driving after revocation charge. This means he'd already had his license suspended for DUI eight times, which means he'd been busted on at least eight DUI charges, probably more. And each time he kept driving anyhow, and now he'd been caught a ninth time. The judge threw the book at him, but I'm sure once he got out of jail he did it again and again. Some of these guys really are hopeless.

While in jail, they make their own "booze" by putting fruit into plastic bags and letting it ferment, and then drink the juice.
(Sounds pretty vile, doesn't it?)

The day they get out of jail? Straight to a bar or liquor store.

The motorist who drove his SUV into a Lake Street bus shelter and severely injured one of three people is suspected of being under the influence of a controlled substance at the time and driving after the state took away his license, authorities said Tuesday.

Michael W. Boucher, 40, of Minneapolis, remains jailed Tuesday in connection with his eastbound vehicle hitting the shelter in the 2200 block of E. Lake Street shortly after 8:30 p.m. Sunday.

The County Attorney’s Office is reviewing the case handed over by police and has until noon Wednesday to charge Boucher or release him pending further investigation.

Boucher was driving despite having his license revoked by the state, according to jail records. Court records show he has been convicted at least 12 times in Minnesota for driving without a license or after having it revoked. He has also been convicted four times for speeding and once of leaving the scene of a crash.
