Georgetown, Texas Judge Orders Life Sentence for 9th DWI Conviction
Bobby Joe Stovall of Round Rock was sentenced to life in prison on Tuesday for a 2009 drunk driving accident that injured his passenger. In that DWI crash he had a blood alcohol level of four times the legal limit.
His previous eight DWI convictions were in Collin, Dewitt, Nueces, Galveston, Jackson and Goliad counties. Stovall also has convictions for burglary, credit card abuse, possession of a controlled substance, theft, and making alcohol available to minors, according to authorities. He is 52-years-old.
While I agree that this man deserves life in prison, I am shocked that it took nine DWI’s to make that happen! Why wasn’t he put in jail long before this? How does one even accumulate that many drunk driving convictions? Not to mention his colorful criminal history. While I am relieved that this person is behind bars permanently, I am disappointed he had to cause this much trouble before he was put away.
