Jail term set here for repeat drunk driver

A Marion man arrested in Antigo for his third offense of drunken driving was sentenced in Langlade County Circuit Court this week to serve 160 days in jail.

Paul J. Knitt, 43, was arrested for the crime in March. Police said he had a blood alcohol level of .23 percent, nearly three times the .08 reading considered legal evidence of intoxication.

Knitt was additionally fined $2,450, he had his driver’s license revoked for 28 months and he was ordered to undergo an alcohol assessment. He must also equip his vehicle with an ignition interlock device for one year.
