HAMILTON - A Hamilton man's 19th drunken driving conviction earned him eight years in prison and a lecture about his 30-year record, which ranks him among Ohio's six worst drunken drivers. He's among four Ohio drivers with 19 drunken-driving convictions; two others are tied for the state record of 20 convictions. Powers also imposed a lifetime driving suspension. But Wolf has disregarded suspensions since at least 1984. Butler County Prosecutor Robin Piper said Wolf's eight-year prison term is proof: "This guy is the example that shows everyone that drinking too much and getting in a car can land you in prison for eight years. That ought to be long enough to sober you up." Piper said he understands alcoholism is a disease. But, he said: "No disease makes you get in a car and drive. If you want to get plastered, stay home and get plastered on the front porch instead of climbing into a car and risking the lives of innocent people. Stay at home with your 12-pack."
I’m pretty sure a guy with 19 DUI’s doesn’t get drunk off a 12 pack, but that’s neither here nor there. The real question is what is this guy going to do when he gets out of jail in 8 years. Does he go for the record? You have to right? I mean it’s not everyday you get that close to a State title. Poor guy is only one DUI away. It would be like Cal Ripken getting hurt in the game before he broke the consecutive game streak. Just a total waste to get this close and not break the record. People don’t remember the 2nd place DUI guy. This is why you lift all them weights.
PS – I’m not sure how this proves you can’t drink and drive without consequences in Ohio. They guy was driving without a license since 1984 and still managed to rack up 19 DUI’s. Impressive to say the least. Way to send a message to the kids!
