N.D.'s most-ticketed driver arrested again

BISMARCK, N.D. - A man not eligible to drive legally for another 60 years is facing charges that could extend that span.

Craig Allen Irwin, 44, of Bismarck, was arrested on Wednesday for having an open container, possession of drug paraphernalia - and driving without a license.

Irwin pleaded not guilty to the charges on Thursday.

Police said Irwin has 442 points on his driver's license and has not been allowed to drive legally for more than 20 years. A driver's license is revoked at 12 points.

Irwin's license had been revoked until 2065, 33 years longer than the next closest revocation, state Transportation Department records show.

Irwin has 19 drunken driving convictions, the most in the state, Transportation Department records show.

"It's pretty mind-boggling," said Officer Tim Krous, who arrested Irwin on Wednesday. "You'd think he'd learn, but he just doesn't."

Krous said he recognized Irwin buying a soda at a convenience store. He watched Irwin get in a vehicle and drive off.

"As soon as he left, I pulled in behind him," Krous said.

Irwin is being held in the Burleigh County Jail. His bond was set at $5,000.

If you live a large portion of your life like that, it is tough to change, my prev post said that they are cracking down, How many people drink on this site? How many drive afterwards? 2 beers can put you over the limit, damn near everyone I've met has been over and driven at some point for one reason or another, just don't pigeon hole the guy for having several dui's when it was the norm and not a big deal back then, He didn't get a dui in the story told, the cop just knew he didn't have his license and stopped him, nothing about being drunk, if I miss-read that please correct me.
Hmmmm, pigeon hole? He had no liscense and was still DRIVING with an open container and drug paraphernalia. He's an idiot. Plain and simple.

Smoking used to be common by pregnant women. Does that mean we should say that since it used to be common it is ok by today's standards? Just because "back in the day" drinking and driving was somewhat acceptable does not make it any more acceptable today.

Yeah except ND jails are overflowing with meth addicts. They say 70% of all prisoners are in on Meth charges.

....as the four are heading into the building, Ben looks at a couple of kids and trys to get them to like him for who he had become, only thing that comes to mind to say to them to try not get them to be frightened of him, "DON'T DO DRUGS!"....kids look shocked and weirded out and Ben realizes what a fool he sounded like.

They also have to be within a 7 year timeframe. I would bet that this guy had all of his dui's before that law took effect. Now, I bet he just likes to drive, but I don't have the full story.

just shows that laws dont mean shit, you can rape little kids, kill your wife and be set free, while martha stewart goes to jail for something everyone else does....
