4th offender DUI conviction affirmed

The Court of Criminal Appeals has confirmed the conviction in State v York, a case from Fayette County. York recieved a sentence including 15 days in jail for a DUI First offense. He had 3 previous DUI convictions, which I assume were barred due to the 10 year rule.
York had the misfortune of having to stop, because another driver ran off the road and the road was blocked for a tow truck. When an officer went up to the stopped cars to inform people of the problem, he found the intoxicated defendeant behind the wheel.
