A Carbon County man was sentenced to serve a year in jail for drunken driving while a Philadelphia man learned prior criminal convictions never go away.

Both defendants, who previously entered guilty pleas to the charges, were sentenced on Tuesday afternoon by county President Judge Roger N. Nanovic II.Flees policeNorman Lee Smith, 23, of Lehighton, previously pleaded guilty to two counts of driving under the influence, and one count of fleeing or attempting to elude police.He was arrested on one DUI charge on Feb. 14, 2013, along Route 248 in Palmerton by borough police. He initially refused to stop and led police on a chase with speeds reaching 100 mph, according to police. He refused a blood test and will lose his license for a year for the refusal.The other DUI occurred on Oct. 21, 2012, along Delaware Avenue in Palmerton. He again attempted to elude police. In that case he also pleaded to a fleeing and eluding charge.A request by defense attorney Matthew Rapa for Smith to be placed in the county's Intermediate Punishment Program with electronic monitoring was denied by Nanovic.Nanovic said he would deny the request because of the facts of the fleeing and eluding charge, in which a high-speed chase occurred that put a lot of people in danger.Rapa told the court his client had completed a inpatient stay in the Salvation Army's drug and alcohol program.On the first DUI charge, Nanovic sentenced him to serve five days to six months in jail, a fine of $300, one year license suspension, get a drug and alcohol evaluation and follow any recommendation for treatment, and zero tolerance imposed on D&A use.On the second DUI he was sentenced to a jail term of 12 to 60 months in the county prison, ordered to pay a fine $2,500, and had his license suspended for another 18 months.He was given credit for 194 days spent in the Salvation Army program and 12 days spent in prison on the charges for a total of 206. On the fleeing and eluding charge he was placed on probation for 18 months. The prison terms and probation period run concurrently.He will begin the jail term at 5 p.m. on Aug. 5.False IDPast convictions of crimes never go away, a Philadelphia man learned the hard way Tuesday.Robert Windell Waters, 50, previously pleaded to one count of false identification to law enforcement. He was arrested on May 16, 2013, in the area of 7605 Interchange Road in Franklin Township. He was arrested by agents of the state Attorney General's office after a vehicle stop. Before the stop, Waters attempted to flee. In a plea bargain, charges of fleeing and eluding and various drug counts were dropped.Nanovic noted that under normal circumstances a false ID count usually has a probation term. However, because of prior drug convictions by Waters, all of which were a long time ago, state sentencing guidelines require a prison term based on his prior record score.Nanovic then sentenced him to serve three to 12 months in the county prison and ordered he get a D&A evaluation. He was given credit for eight days spent in jail on the charge.He will begin the jail term at 6 p.m. on Aug. 5.Both defendants must also pay court costs, which average about $1,000, and pay a $50 per month supervision fee while on parole.
