A Niles man has sentenced to prison in Berrien County Court for two incidents of third-offense drunk driving.

Dennis Matthew Inman, 46, of Niles pleaded guilty to the counts and has been sentenced to two concurrent terms of 23 months-to-five years in prison. He also must pay nearly $7,500 in fines, costs and restitution.

The incidents back in May and June in Niles.

Leader Publications reports the judge said because they were Inman’s seventh and eighth drunk driving convictions, she wouldn’t feel right putting him back into the community. Inman apologized and admitted he’d never reached out for help for his addiction.
