Man’s Drunken Escapade Leads to 17th DUI Conviction
1 comments
A man named Maurice Larrivee, 69, has recently been charged with his 17th DUI. According to a news source, before he got arrested for his 17th DUI, “he stopped at a store to buy two-dozen beers while he was already visibly intoxicated.” Larrivee is lucky no one was injured during his 17th drunken escapade.
During his last DUI, in 2005, his driver’s license was suspended for five years. What is the punishment for someone with 17 DUI’s?
