A 22-year-old York man has been sentenced to five years’ probation and given credit for time served for his third drunken-driving conviction.
His blood-alcohol level tested out at 0.299%, more than three times the legal limit of 0.08%.
The charge was a Class 3A felony, which carries a maximum sentence of 5 years, and three lesser charges. In a deal with prosecutors, the other three charges were dropped, and Anderson pleaded no contest to DUI.
Judge Alan Gless of York County District Court told Anderson Tuesday that this was his last chance, that the “next step is prison time.”
