Man Killed Boy While Drunk Driving - Not His First!!

54 year-old Ricky Weeden turned himself over to authorities two days after running down two boys who were crossing the street. Rayeshon Williams, aged four, died at the crash while his ten-year-old brother, Jayshard Conner, was hospitalized for his injuries.

The sad part is this is not the first time Weeden has killed someone while being behind the wheel! Back in 1983 he killed two people and had been charged for careless and imprudent driving. He has about five separate occasions in which he was convicted of drunk driving.

Unfortunately, because he turned himself in 48 hours after the incident, there's no way to tell if he was, in fact, drunk at the time of the crash that killed four-year-old Rayeshon.

These are the people that need to be kept off the streets. After the first time actually KILLING innocent people by being to careless to not drive drunk, his licences should have been revoked completely. Though I'm sure that wouldn't have stopped him, but anything after that should have led to an arrest and the child that he just killed would still be alive.
