Ohio man arrested for 13th DWI

Newark, OH

He apparently has a drinking problem, but does he have a driving problem?

The man has been arrested for DWI 13 times. His license had been suspended 45 times before being revoked for life in 1995. Yet, to his credit, he never has injured himself or anyone else driving drunk.

Could that be why 2,588 percent more people die from cigarettes each year in the U.S. than in accidents in which someone was drinking?

A man convicted of drunken driving a dozen times was ordered held under $50,000 bond on Tuesday after police said he committed the same offense again.

On Sunday morning, Jeffrey Moore was pulled over for driving 45 mph in a 35 mph zone, 10TV's Patrick Bell reported. Moore ran from the officer, but was arrested moments later.

Moore, 40, refused all sobriety and breath tests, according to records. This was Moore's 13th drunken driving arrest.

Since the late 1980s, Moore's license has been suspended 45 times. In 1995, his license was suspended for life, Bell reported.

Donna Maines of Mothers Against Drunk Driving said he never should have been behind the wheel.

"Thank God he hasn't killed anyone or injured himself," Maines said. "But we have to get this stopped. He knows he's not supposed to be drinking, let alone driving."

Calls to prosecutors were not returned on Tuesday morning.
