A Vancouver Washington man was arrested for his 8th DUI in October 2006. He avoided a five-year prison sentence by avoiding arrest until October. Washington law provides that a driver convicted of his 5th DUI in a 10 year span must be sentenced to up to 5 years incarceration. Had he been arrested for DUI in July 2006 he’d be looking at a 5 year sentence. Instead he faces no more than 2 years and 3 months in jail.
The driver, one of the worst DUI offenders in Washington was charged with DUI, driving with a suspended license, and driving without an ignition interlock.
