A Texas man has been sentenced to life in prison after his ninth conviction for driving while intoxicated.
Christopher Faran Stanford, 50, pleaded guilty to the felony charge and was handed a lifetime jail sentence Tuesday by a Parker County jury, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
The repeat offender had opted for a jury to determine his punishment. Jurors decided the free ride was over for Stanford based on his shameful history of multiple DUI arrests between 2003 and 2022.
The latest incident occurred in August, when police say Stanford ran a red light at an intersection in his Lincoln MKC and rear-ended a Kia Sorrento carrying a man, his wife and their teenage daughter.
