Law enforcement reports that a man from New York state has been charged with driving while intoxicated after an early morning crash.
Police say the suspect's charges were upped to felonies after they say the man was a repeat drunk driving offender, and was driving without a license.
Cases such as this are another reason some advocates have called for even stricter punishments for those caught driving while impaired, particularly those arrested multiple times for the same offense.
New York State Police had previously reported that on October 1, troopers arrested a 30-year-old resident of Crown Point, for reckless driving and driving while intoxicated, following a prior conviction.
Some advocates have called for stricter punishments for repeat offenders.
