MONROE - A Monroe man with four drunk-driving convictions was arrested again for the same offense early Sunday, according to the Green County Sheriff's Department.

David A. Wenger, 52, was jailed on a fifth-offense charge of operating while intoxicated after deputies stopped his vehicle at 1:48 a.m. Sunday in Monroe. He was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.

State court records show Wenger was convicted in Green County in September 2006 of driving with a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.237 percent, nearly three times the legal limit. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail, assessed $1,209 in fines and court fees and had his license revoked for two years.

He was previously convicted of third-offense OWI in Jan. 2005 and second-offense OWI in April 1996, also in Green County.
