DARLINGTON - A Blanchardville man with multiple drunk driving convictions on his records was sentenced on another Wednesday, Dec. 12, in Lafayette County Circuit Court.
James Robert Harms, 39, pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated May 18 on Monroe Street in Argyle. Court records indicate it is his sixth such offense in Wisconsin.
An Argyle police officer stopped him for having a defective headlight and found an open beer bottle in the vehicle with Harms.
Harms told the officer he was on his way home from a fish dinner, where he had a few beers. He blew a preliminary breath test of 0.087 blood-alcohol content, according to the officer's report filed with court documents.
Judge James Beer sentenced Harms to six months in jail, with work-release privileges, and to three years of probation. Conditions of Harms' probation include not drinking or entering any establishment that sells primarily alcohol. He is also ordered to follow through with any alcohol and drug counseling recommendations.
Harms is convicted of driving while under the influence of alcohol in Iowa County in August 1990 and May 1991 and in Dane County in September 1992, March 1995, August 1995 and September 2001.
