Seventh DUI Could Lead To One Year Jail Time for Kansas Man

Seven DUI convictions.  Unbelievable.  A Kansas man has been convicted of his seventh DUI and faces up to one year in jail.   The good news is that his 7th conviction did not involve an auto accident and, at Roswold Law Group, we congratulate the Kansas Highway Patrol for apprehending this man before he managed to have an accident that could have killed or caused serious injury to innocent victims. 

David Matthews was pulled over by the Kansas Highway patrol because he was speeding - 117 mph in a 70 mph zone.  Once stopped, Matthews was uable to perform a series of maneuvers as requested and was arrested and charged with driving under the influence (DUI).  His sentencing will take place on October 29th and he could face up to a year in jail.

The Kansas Department of Motor Vehicles has suspended his license and Matthews is currently in the Shawnee County jail awaiting sentencing on two DUI convictions.
