A man accused of making an illegal U-turn in front of a Billings police officer was arrested for drunken driving.

Thomas David Herman, 41, was arraigned in District Court today and pleaded not guilty to what prosecutors said is his seventh DUI offense. Herman, who appeared by video from the county jail, also pleaded not guilty to a mis-demeanor charge of making an illegal U-turn.

Judge Susan Watters set bond at $50,000 after Chief Deputy County Attorney Mark Murphy described Herman's traffic record as "truly amazing" for a man his age. Herman has previous DUI convictions in 2001, 1999, 1998, 1993 and two in 1992.

Note: Though the article does not state, this happened in Montana. I have been trying to research more on this, but so far, not much has been available.

Actually it seems to me that the story happened in Montana, not Wyoming.

Otherwise that Cop was WAY out of his Jurisdiction, and the DWI could be thrown out of court.

Geeze, and I thought seven was distubing! One is more than enough! That just blows my mind at how these habitual offenders can get away with this over and over again! Our laws are in some serious need of change!

I am in total agreement. I can understand one. and even then only if its within a point or two of the .08 threshold.

Anything over two DUIs and I am sorry but you have got a problem.
