An Ohio woman is facing charges of operating a vehicle while under the influence, after allegedly striking a police cruiser in Brunswick Hills Township over the weekend. The officer was not injured when Cathy Pfeiler, 59, rear-ended a stopped Brunswick Hills Township police cruiser, according to a report by WDTN. The officer found her to be impaired and arrested her.

This was Pfeiler’s 10th OVI arrest.

It begs the question, how on earth does a driver with that many OVI arrests still have a driver’s license?

The charge against her can be upgraded to a fourth-degree felony if the driver has five or more OVI convictions within 20 years or three or more within 10 years. In this case, the arrests have been spread out enough that neither applies.

Ohio lawmakers must consider whether examples such as these warrant a change in the law to make convictions cumulative, after a certain point, and therefore warranting a harsher punishment.

That could save lives — including those of problem drivers.
