A man is being held in the Skagit County Jail in Mount Vernon, Wash., in lieu of $150,000 bail after being arrested for the 14th time for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Superior Court documents say 46-year-old Aaron Bridge of Mount Vernon was arrested in Sedro-Woolley when a sheriff's deputy smelled alcohol during a traffic stop. The documents say Bridge was also driving with a suspended license.
The documents say Tuesday's arrest was Bridge's 14th for suspicion of DUI in 16 years. They say Bridge has been convicted at least four times in the past 10 years.
Bridge was charged with a felony DUI on Thursday. The felony DUI law went into effect in July 2007 and allows prosecutors to charge anyone with four prior DUI offenses within the past 10 years with a felony.
