No word on how many years his record spans.

quote:

A 64-year-old western Minnesota man has been caught for the 28th time driving while intoxicated, according to prosecutors, adding to what likely is a record that state authorities have long attributed to him.

quote:

Bettcher, who had a valid yet restricted driver's license at the time of his arrest, remains jailed in lieu of $100,000 bail ahead of an Oct. 30 court appearance.

Assistant County Attorney Jacob Thomason said Tuesday that if convicted this time around, the maximum sentence is seven years, with the first two-thirds spent in prison and the balance on supervised release. Bettcher would then serve another five years on probation.

Bettcher's criminal history already includes spending four years in prison for a prior drunken driving offense, and he's been ordered to treatment at least a dozen times.

He's also been caught driving drunk in Nebraska and North Dakota.

People make mistakes, I think we can all agree to that.

Wouldn't you think at around 7 or 8 someone would say, "Hey y'all, I don't think this fricker should ever have a DL again."

How shitty of a person must you be to drive drunk that often?

Also...

How shitty of a drunk driver do you have to be to get caught 28 times?

You think a license is gonna stop a guy from driving?

He's probably at the point it takes him to .15 just to feel normal.

Guy should have been executed 20 DWIs ago. If you put other people's lives in danger 8 times with no reason, you should be executed

After 28 times, the only effective deterrent is death.
