Man Enters Not Guilty Plea to 28th DWI charge

Twenty Eight times, as in just short of 30. That is how many times a New Mexico man has been charged with DWI.
Bernalillo County sheriff's deputies arrested Brill in an Albuquerque neighborhood on March 14. Deputies said they saw him park, then fall out of his pickup truck.

The deputies said they tried to give him a field sobriety test, but he could not complete it. They said he then refused a breath test.

A criminal complaint said [Joseph] Brill had 27 prior DWI offenses, with at least 14 convictions, before the arrest.

State District Judge Ernesto Romero set bond at $100,000.
While 28 charges is one thing, he has a 50% conviction rate.

why is this man still allowed to drive? Why isn't he in jail?
