An Elkhorn pilot who served six months in jail after crashing his plane into a Milwaukee neighborhood while drunk has been arrested again.

David Betts was charged April 30 with operating while intoxicated.

Betts was flying drunk when he crashed into power lines in the Riverwest neighborhood in 2005. One neighbor reported the plane landed 10 feet from his daughter's bedroom. No one was hurt.

Court records show Betts was convicted seven times for drunken driving between 1990 and 1997. He now has two operating while intoxicated cases pending in Walworth County -- one from last month and one from last year.

The 41-year-old Betts is being held in jail. His attorney says Betts has been in treatment and will dispute that this is his eighth offense.
