Champaign Man Gets 7th DUI Charge In 30 Years

URBANA, IL — A Champaign man has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol for the seventh time in 30 years. The News-Gazette reports that if 56-year-old David Pribble is convicted for a seventh time, he faces six to 30 years in prison.

A Champaign police report said Pribble was arrested Saturday at the Village Green Plaza when he failed sobriety tests and was driving on a revoked license, after a woman told police her car had been hit in the Walgreens parking lot, The News-Gazette says.

Pribble was charged Monday with aggravated DUI due to how many convictions he's had for that offense since 1986 in Vermilion County, with his most recent taking place in 2002 in Douglas County.

However, Pribble isn't alone when it comes to his number of DUI offenses. Patch has recently reported on a number of repeat offenders.

A Bolingbrook man was arrested last month for his seventh drunken driving offense. Hilario Nevarez was due back in court on May 17 and is also facing six to 30 years in prison.

A Wisconsin man is going behind bars following his 10th DUI. Raymond Puterbaugh, of Silver Lake, Wis. was recently sentenced to 10 years in prison for a recent aggravated drunken driving conviction in McHenry County on Jan. 29.

But not even 10 offenses amount to Christopher Clingingsmith's 16th drunken driving conviction. The Rolling Meadows man was sentenced to 16 years in prison last month for his most recent incident in June 2017 during a collision with a party bus in Des Plaines.
