DERIDDER, LA. (AP) - A Texas man was arrested and booked with second-offense driving while intoxicated only hours after he left a court for sentencing for an earlier DWI conviction. The 31-year-old man was arrested by state police on Wednesday.

Hours before he was arrested, he’d been in 36th Judicial District Court in DeRidder being sentenced for first-offense DWI.

The man was being held in the jail without bond pending a hearing later this month.
