The District Attorney in Sonoma County, California is happy with a judge who handed down a 68 month sentence to a man after his 13th DUI conviction. Robert James Feenan, 50, of Santa Rosa, was arrested Nov. 20 after the car he was driving crashed into another car. There were no injuries, but police determined that Feenan’s blood alcohol level was 0.44 percent, more than five times the 0.08 percent that constitutes drunken driving.
Feenan already had 12 DUI convictions. His last arrest was in June 2008 when he had a blood alcohol level of 0.22 percent. He was sentenced to a year in jail plus probation. Feenan completed residential treatment for alcohol addiction more than five months before his November 2009 arrest.
Judge Elliot Daum of Sonoma County Superior Court sentenced Feenan to five years and eight months in state prison.
Assistant District Attorney Diana Gomez said that this was the maximum sentence and that prosecutors “applaud the court.”
