Newsroom
6/22/2007

A Williamson County jury sentences Wendel Glenn Klotz, 52, to 70 years in prison after finding him guilty of felony driving while intoxicated. The jury also found that the vehicle driven by Klotz was used as a deadly weapon, meaning Klotz will be ineligible for parole 30 years.

During the punishment hearing, the jury learned Klotz has seven prior convictions for driving while intoxicated. The convictions were in 1983 (2 cases), 1987 (2 cases), 1988, 1991 and 1996. He failed to complete probation every time he received it and went to prison four times. Klotz had received numerous opportunities for treatment and was kicked out of the Central Texas Treatment Center, a local inpatient treatment facility for chronic drunks and drug abusers.
