N.M. Man Arrested on 28th DWI Charge
A man who fell out of his truck after driving up to a scene where sheriff's deputies were investigating a domestic dispute has been arrested on his 28th DWI charge.
Joseph Brill, 54, was arrested Tuesday night and is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center without bond. He's charged with DWI and violating his parole from a previous DWI arrest.
Brill was imprisoned from April 2005 until last June on a pair of DWI convictions. He also served a prison stint in 1994 and 1995 for DWI, New Mexico Department of Corrections spokeswoman Tia Bland said.
His latest arrest came in the North Valley in the 6400 block of Tokay Road Northeast, Bernalillo County sheriff's Lt. Scott Baird said.
Brill's drivers license has been revoked for life, but his 1999 Chevrolet pickup was properly registered in his name, Baird said.
He said people can register a vehicle with proper insurance and proof of residency.
Brill had been arrested 27 times for prior DWIs and had been convicted 14 times, Baird said.
"At that point, there's not much you can do besides incarcerate a person," he said. "He'd lost his license. He'd been to prison. Deterrence obviously hasn't worked."
