A Tucarawas County man is facing his 11th OVI after being charged by the Ohio State Highway Patrol with operating a vehicle while under the influence.
59-year old Arthur Everett Jr. was traveling in the Village of Gnadenhutten. He drove off the right side of the road, struck a mailbox, and fled the scene.
Everett Jr. was later located at his home where he was arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs (OVI), hit-skip, driving under suspension, and failure to control. All charges were filed through the Tuscarawas County Common Pleas Court pending Grand Jury.
If convicted, this will be his 11th OVI due to 10 prior OVI convictions in his lifetime spanning from 1985 to 2008, with a felony OVI conviction in 2002 and 2008.
