Comment by Gus:
Who was the judge? When was Boyle arrested?
What were the sentences on the first five DUIs? And who were the judges?
Where and when were they?
Did any involve accidents, injuries, death?
I remember stopping a drunk in Colorado one night. Couldn't get him to pull over. It was one of those O.J. Simpson chases - about 30 MPH, including right through a red light.
When he finally stopped, he got out and put his hands on the roof of his car before I could ever get out of my car! His driving history included more than 20 traffic violations and numerous prior DUIs.

Gussie, This is a great new topic! You should start to channel your energy towards the corrupted legal system in this County! The Police did their job six times, but no credit from you! All the people in the legal system did not do there job five times and just now your reporting on this?! Forget Sheriff run for States Attorney or Chief Judge.
Speaking of the energy channel, I was thinking today that perhaps, Gus, you should abandon your run for Sheriff and focus more on the other things you post on this blog. Even though I'm not in Woodstock, I enjoy those posts and you write them well. If I lived in the area, I would consider this blog a good source of information on the goings-on in the area.
The law enforcement stuff, however...cough, cough.
Where were the press releases on the first five DUIs?
The new law is only 2 years old, and arguable younger than that because last year we had six different versions of the DUI code at one time.
