Police say man arrested for eighth DUI

September 19, 2007

A man awaiting sentencing on a previous driving-under-the-influence charge was arrested on his eighth DUI charge Tuesday in Tortugas, Doña Ana County sheriff's deputies said.

Deputies were on a separate call when a white Ford -150 pulled into a driveway in the 3500 block of Paroquia Street. The driver David Torres, 48, of the 3400 block of South Highway 28, went up to shake the hand of a deputy, who was his former probation officer.

Deputies noticed Torres had slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and smelled of alcohol. Torres allegedly failed a field sobriety test and had a revoked driver's license.

Deputies said Torres' drunken-driving arrest record dates to 1986 in El Paso.
