A Smith County jury found a Lindale man guilty of his third driving while intoxicated offense on Tuesday in Judge Jack Skeen Jr.'s 241st District Court.
Michael Gene Rose, 68, faces between two and 10 years confinement in state prison, is probation eligible, and could have to pay up to a $10,000 fine, said Smith County Assistant District Attorney Joe Murphy. The offense is a third degree felony, he said.
Rose was found to have a .146 blood alcohol level in his system after taking a breathalyzer test at the scene of an accident he caused in November of 2008 at Loop 323 and U.S. Highway 69 north in November of 2008. The minimum acceptable alcohol level limit in Texas is 0.08 before someone is considered to be legally intoxicated.
