A Schriever man is charged for his fifth DWI after a traffic stop in Thibodaux on Friday night.
On Friday at around 10:15 p.m., authorities initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle for a speeding violation on Brule Guillot Road in Thibodaux.
Deputies identified the driver as Randolph Himel Jr., 39, of Schriever, and authorities said they immediately detected an odor of alcohol on his breath.
Himel allegedly admitted that he was drinking, and deputies located an open container of alcohol in his vehicle.
Himel subjected himself to a field sobriety test, which he performed poorly.
He also did a breath test and blew a 0.123g%, which is above the legal limit.
Authorities said they reviewed Himel’s criminal history and learned that he was currently on parole for his fourth DWI charge, making this incident his fifth.
Himel was arrested and charged with DWI (5th offense), possession of an alcoholic beverage in a motor vehicle and speeding.
His bond is set at $100,200, and he is also being held by the Louisiana Probation and Parole Board.
