A motorist whose blood alcohol content registered nearly three times the legal limit after he crashed in Cortez pleaded guilty to driving while impaired and without a license.
In June, 12th Circuit Judge George K. Brown sentenced Glen Finken of Bradenton, who waived his right to an attorney, to 12 months on probation.
Finken was arrested after his Chevy Camaro rolled over multiple times May 8 and traveled 100 feet before coming to rest in a driveway at 101st Street West and Cortez Road West. He registered an 0.22 BAC.
Finken is required to complete a DUI program, a victim-impact panel, 50 hours of public service and to install a BAC-ignition device in his vehicle.
His driver’s license is suspended for six months with a work permit.
As a condition of his probation, Finken also is required to pay $406 in court costs, $50 to prosecution costs and $100 to the Florida Highway Patrol, in addition to a $1,000 fine.
A citation for careless driving was issued to Finken and is pending in a separate case.
