A Lafayette County man is arrested twice in less than two hours for drunk driving on Friday night.
The Grant County Sheriff's Department says 51-year-old Gene Geno of Benton was first arrested around 10:30 p.m. for operating while intoxicated.
After being taken to the Boscobel Police Department, Geno was released to a responsible party.
But, authorities near the Hickory Grove Township saw Geno and the responsible party who picked him up parked behind his vehicle.
Authorities say Geno then took the wheel of the responsible party's vehicle and drove it into the wayside, which caused authorities to once again administer a field sobriety test and arrest him for operating while intoxicated an hour and 20 minutes after his previous arrest.
Geno faces two counts of OWI.

Gene was at one time apart of my family...much delight to me and others that ended. I do not have any kind words or thoughts on this man. All I can say, short and simple..."What goes around, comes around and isn't karma a _____."
