Dracut man faces 4th OUI

gerry, gerry egrry !!!!

Throw this bum in jail for 15 years.

I'll drink to that!!

I think he should keep getting chances until he kills a family of four (minimum). Then it'll be okay to take the keys from him.

Ok here is what is wrong with our current handling of drunk driving. For some reason our law makers think that taking a license away will somehow magicaly stop someone from driving. Like you slide the license through a slot in you head and poof you can drive. The problem is not with the license it is with the vehicle. Take that away and you have taken the "WEAPON" away. That is right a car driven by someone who is drunk is a "WEAPON". If the car is gone the odds of that person driving is very low. And if you are dumb enought to let someone drive your car drunk OH well you "DUMMY". Your car goes away for the duration of the license loss. And if you have kids at home that you need to support "TOO BAD." You endangered my family and everyone elses. And get caught a second time and the car gets sold at auction and the proceeds go to the familes whos lives have been ruined by drunk drivers. And you go away for 5 years minimum. Every police station will have a nurse on call to administer blood tests. And as far as invasion of privicay goes. If you refuse to have a blood test taken you won't be allowed to drive. If you get behind the wheel you as a part of that you consent to a blood test if you are suspected of driving drunk. Simple as that. Way too many lives are ruined every day by these well the sensor won't let me sayy what hey are.

He can always get a job at the LHA.

I guess there should have been flaggers at the construction site. That way, the flagger could have jumped into a Mass Highway dump truck, flashed the amber lights, and the guy would have stopped and surrendered peacefully. Lives would have been saved! Oh, and it only would ahve cost the taxpayers an extra 15 bucks an hour for the flagger (due to the prevailing wage law).

Can't believe this guy has gotten away with 3 other arrest on the same thing what are they waiting for him to kill someone, makes me sick he lives in same town as me.
He seems to not care, and the courts keep allowing him to get away with it, when will they finally stick his ass in jail?

Excellent Idea

When you say "if you have kids at home that you need to support "TOO BAD." You endangered my family and everyone elses." do you mean his kids should pay for his actions ? You do know they had nothing to do with what HE did and he could have killed them as well as eveyone else. What's "TOO BAD" is he will missout on his kids and they are better off without him!

The story does not necessarily say he got away with his past offenses. I assume and hope that he served at least the mandatory minimum jail time for the second and third offense. The real problem is that alcohol is an addictive drug, and jail does not necessarily do anything to reform those addicted to any substance. There are programs available, but they are voluntary, and they don't really work unless the individual is committed to changing. A previous poster got it right when he/she defined the problem as keeping these addicted persons from getting behind the wheel. No one with 2 or more OUI's should be allowed to register a car in MA for a minimum of either 5 years or the length of their current license suspension. No insurance company should be required to sell insurance to anyone with 2 or more OUI's and the price of auto insurance for people with past OUI's should be set at a level that reflects the actual risk of loss. It should be an offense to loan, lease, rent or otherwise place a vehicle at the disposal of a person whose license was suspended for an OUI or for refusal of a breathalyzer.

Until we get tough on driving after a license was suspended for OUI, and make it more difficult for drunks to get behind the wheel, this will keep happening.

OK people lets be realistic for a moment. Don't you think with all these non violent offenders flooding our jails putting someone away who could potentially kill someone seem like the impossible. 15 years for an oui isn't realistic, millions of people are doing time for marijuana right now. Thats a million less reasons this man should be locked up.

Ok then castrate him.

how would that stop him from another DWI and killing someone ?
did anyone see the other papers about this story ? he has a wife in the hospital cause her leg was cut off, WOW she's better off without HIM!

Here is the deal :.....Guys drink so they can go out and pick up chicks. With no cahunas he would be less likely to have the earge,thus he would drink less. Plus, a castration may work as a good deterrent for others who may consider the same foolish act.

his wife is in the hospital with her leg cut off (based on other news papers) that's his reason for his action, NOT that this a good reason but the idea of him picking up a "chick" was not on the top of his list, castration is only giving him more room to place a bottle between his legs as he drives.

DR not again??
