Waxahachie, Texas - An Arlington man who has been convicted five times of driving while intoxicated, was sentenced to 32 years in prison.
José Isabel Lopez, Jr., 34, was convicted and sentenced Friday by a jury in Ellis County.
He has four previous DWI. conivicted Tarrant, Ellis and Dallas counties.
His last arrest came in August 2009 when he ran a stop sign. The deputy who pulled him over testified that he smelled alcohol on the breath of Lopez, was the beer in his truck and found cocaine in the car.
During the sentencing phase of his trial, Lopez denied having a drinking problem and said he did not know where it came from cocaine.
"It's a miracle nobody was injured or killed by repeat drunk driving José López," Lindy said prosecutor in an October press release.
