Santa Maria police officers arrested a 57-year-old man for his fifth DUI following a drunk driving crash on Sunday, police said.

Shortly after 8 p.m., a caller reported a traffic collision near the intersection of Broadway and Cook Street. Officers determined Andres Feria, who was under the influence, failed to stop for a red traffic signal and rear-ended the vehicle in front of him.

Further investigation revealed Feria had four prior DUI arrests. Officers then arrested Feria for felony DUI and booked him into the Santa Barbara County Jail.

When he ends up killing someone while driving drunk the people in the judicial system that didn’t prosecute him properly should have to face accessory to murder charges.

In a sane and rational society with a properly functioning legitimate government & justice system, judicial intervention in this sort of repeat criminality would take place BEFORE an innocent life is lost, NOT AFTERWARDS!

After his fifth drunk driving he should not be let out in jail again

Lucky nobody has been killed! He and the previous judges who let him off, should be jailed for life!
