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.
David Anderson was arrested in September last year after a hit-and-run accident in York.
His blood-alcohol level tested out at 0.299 percent, more than three times the legal limit of 0.08 percent.
Anderson was charged with a Class 3A felony, which carries a maximum sentence of five 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."

WELL AFTER THIS DRUNK KILLS SOMEONE, THEN WE SHOULD START HOLDING HIS ATTORNEY AND THE JUDGE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACTIONS.

What ever happened to the days when people took responsibility for their actions. Do the crime, do the time. Maybe this judge will think differently when this or others that have been slapped on the wrist for DWI's, especially repeat offenders ends up killing a family member or friend. I do agree that it's society that has brought on this change, if the law would still allow parents to firmly discipline, spankings that get their attention, etc... and I don't mean to beat their children, to take responsibility for their actions at a young age then maybe our world would not be in the shape it's in. Parents use to march their kids in to the police station when they did wrong, if they took a piece of candy they were made to go back in and pay for it, what happen?? All of these do gooders that had to stop the "beatings", a spanking never hurt me and surely won't hurt my kids either, maybe these so called parents of today need a reality check, this kids are our next presidents, etc... SCARY!
