Foxborough Man Sentenced to Nearly a Decade in Prison for 15th DUI

A Foxborough man believed to be convicted of his 15^th DUI this week was sentenced to nearly a decade in prison Wednesday by a Worcester jury, according to the Telegram & Gazette.

Kenneth I. Norman, 65, of Foxborough, was found guilty of drunken driving, driving after suspension of license and driving negligently for an incident that occurred in Millbury last September. Police stopped Norman’s vehicle on Sept. 14^th and reported the Foxborough resident’s “eyes were bloodshot, his speech slurred” and alcohol could be smelled from his truck,” according to the Telegram & Gazette.

Worcester Superior Court Judge David Ricciardone sentenced Norman to five years in prison on the charge of DUI (fifth or more subsequent offense) and 4-1/2 more years for the other driving offenses, according to the Telegram & Gazette.

Norman’s defense attorney, Gregory V. St. Cyr, told Judge Ricciardone his client likely won’t last five years in prison due to poor health.

“His family is quite certain even five years is a death sentence,” St. Cyr said, referencing Norman’s heart condition, according to the Telegram & Gazette.
