Don't mess with Texas
Man, when it comes to recidivist drunken drivers, Texas is hardcore.
GEORGETOWN, Texas - A Texas man has been sentenced to 60 years in prison for his 10th conviction of driving while intoxicated since 1979.
[...]A statement Tuesday from the Williamson County prosecutor says tests showed [53-year-old Anthony Lynn] Falco's blood alcohol content was 0.17 percent, more than twice the legal limit for driving in Texas.
Prosecutor John Bradley says Falco had nine prior DWI convictions and served prison terms from five to 10 years. He also had convictions for theft, family violence assault and forgery.
Hooo-eee! That's what I'm talkin' about!
Nothing like getting these bastards off the road before they kill someone. It's amazing that this guy hasn't slain anyone yet -- and reassuring that he never will. At least with a car.
