A motorcyclist got more than he bargained for when he crashed into a building this past weekend.

Dodge County authorities say the 32-year-old Slinger man drove his motorcycle into a building in the town of Rubicon early Saturday.

He was taken to a Hartford hospital for treatment. And he was also arrested for his sixth offense of drunken driving.

There were no other reported injuries. And it wasn't clear what type of building the man hit.

in response to John. I, for one, would be willing to pay more taxes. If people saw that driving drunk is for sure going to get you jail time even with a first offense then I say it is worth it!

Are you willing to pay alot more money out of you checks and property taxes to send people to prison for owi's plus you will have to pay more for the ones left behind, welfare. yes it's crazy that people don't learn after 1 or 2 but it cost roughly $50-60 thousand a year per inmate in prison if I remember right, that is why judges cannot be as strict as they would like, quit blaming the judges It's Life

Absoltely ridiculous! That is all I can say! I completely agree with Jae, 1 OWI should be all it takes. So what does it take to get this man behind bars? It's against the law! You break the law, you pay the consequences, PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!

Maybe the SIXTH time is the charm and this person will finally be put in jail where he belonged five offenses ago. Apparently these people could care less that they may kill someone and it is too bad our judges don't seem to care either.

So what is going to happen now? Are they going to wait until his 7th offence and he kills someone before they do something about this mans idiotic behavior? In my opinion one OWI should be enough for prison time!
