LEBANON, Pa. (WGAL.com) — A Lebanon County man who has been convicted of drunken driving 18 times has been sentenced to two-and-a-quarter to five years in state prison.

James Myers, 56, had pleaded guilty to a DUI charge stemming from an October arrest in Palmyra, where he lives. Police said his blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit when he was pulled over for speeding.

In July, Myers received a separate state prison sentence of two-and-a-half to five years for drunken driving, speeding and careless driving in Middlesex Township, Cumberland County.

You get arrested for the same crime 18 times and you promise a judge, the man who was the power to hold your fate in that little wooden hammer thingy, that you won’t do it again. Does anybody see something wrong with this crime scene, Det. Sipowitz?

There’s no “do over” statute, bub.

    Hah. Well, I know a guy that went to prison for awhile after crashing into a cop car while piss drunk, and he still claims to this day that it was the cops who crashed into HIM. He looks at the picture of his car smashed into a cop’s cruiser, and he still denies it.
