A Pittsburgh college professor has been arrested for DUI / DWI for the third time in eight days.

One of Carnegie-Mellon professor Jeffrey Hunker’s DUI / DWI arrests occurred after he allegedly drove his car into his neighbor’s yard.

Courts in many states have ruled that DUI / DWI defendants can receive additional punishment for prior drunk driving arrests even if those prior cases have not yet been resolved in court. One way to avoid this problem is to request a bifurcated trial, in which the prior charge will be adjudicated separately from and after the later offense.

If you’re facing a repeat DUI / DWI charge, an experienced defense lawyer will use aggressive tactics to try to help you avoid the additional punishment that can be handed down because of prior convictions.
