GAINESVILLE, Fla., Aug. 21 (UPI) -- A Florida man who pleaded no contest to drunken driving charges was involved in a drunken car crash less than two days later, police said.
Antony David Dees, 28, of Gainesville has now been busted four times in as many years for drunken driving, The Gainesville Sun reported. He has been convicted twice in addition to the no contest plea.
Art Forgey, a spokesman for the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, said a deputy responding early Thursday to a call about a hit-and-run collision, pulled over a driver he saw operating his car erratically. Dees, the driver, was identified by witnesses as the person involved in the hit-and-run.
Dees was being held in lieu of $170,000 bail on charges that included leaving the scene of a crash with property damage and driving with a suspended license in addition to drunken driving.
