19th DUI? No problem: 8 years prison
San Diego DUI attorney news
A judge Tuesday sentenced a man convicted of his 19th DUI/drunk driving offense to eight years in prison.
Stephen W. Wolf, 51, ranks as one of the six leading repeat drunken drivers statewide. Ohio records show that among the state’s 1 million convicted DUIdrunken drivers, three motorists have as many DUIconvictions as Wolf, and two have 20.
He was sentenced by Judge Noah Powers of Butler County Common Pleas Court.
Wolf’s DUI defense lawyer, Robert Qucsai, said his client does not have a valid driver license.
Plenty of people drive despite having a suspended or revoked license, DUIauthorities say, and locking them up is the only way to keep them off the roads.
Wolf pleaded guilty last week to the charge of operating a vehicle DUI / under the influence of alcohol. The Butler County Prosecutor’s Office said Wolf received his first DUIdrunk driving conviction in 1978.
Qucsai said earlier that Wolf shouldn’t be judged by his DUI driving record alone and is very personable.
“He’s not nearly as bad as his record would reflect,” DUI attorney Qucsai said.
