CONROE, Texas (CBS NEWS)-- A Houston man convicted of drunken driving nine times since 1980 has been sentenced to life in prison.
The Montgomery County judge who sentenced Donald Middleton on Tuesday said the 56-year-old man is a habitual offender.
Middleton pleaded guilty last week to driving drunk in a May 2015 traffic accident.
Investigators say Middleton was arrested after he fled on foot after the wreck, ran to a store and begged the clerks not to turn him in.
Prosecutors say Middleton has already served four prison terms for alcohol-related convictions.
Meth too?
What a shock. A white guy. Funny how the media/gov finds these evil white men committing these terrible crimes. Meanwhile, black and brown criminals barely get noticed by the media.
Not disagreeing with your post...but I think any brown or black person with nine drunken driving convictions...would getting a long prison sentence as will...
Self-driving cars will solve this problem.
Well at least he knows how to make pruno
Well one thing; it’s keeping him safe and the rest of the road population, although you can get prison alky.

Crap. Thanks! I guess simple title searches are insufficient at best . . .
This guy belongs in jail, no matter what color he is.

I’m in Spring near Conroe/Woodlands. I wish I could say I was surprised by this. I recall them putting up the sign that had a running tally of DUI crashes and fatalities on that stretch of road.
Everyone complained that the sign was tacky. I thought they had missed the point.
