John Eric Foster was arrested May 2 on his third DUI offense in the last seven years.
“DUI drivers are killers in waiting,” said Douglas County District Court Judge Tod Young.
Although Foster has a criminal history, prosecutor Bill Murphy said he’d rather see Foster take advantage of the DUI program, then see him return to court over and over again.
“He does have a history, there’s no doubt that he has that, but he wants to change, and it would be more beneficial for him if he succeeds, then to come back over and over and I want to see that end.”
Foster is to report for DUI Court beginning Dec. 16.
