BARRON, Wis. (AP) -- A St. Croix Falls woman who has been arrested 13 times for drunken driving has been sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison.

Fifty-one-year-old Lisa K. White was arrested in June for her 11th drunken-driving offense in Wisconsin. Barron County prosecutors say she had two similar offenses in Minnesota before 1989.

When she was arrested, her extended supervision in two previous drunken-driving cases was revoked. She was sentenced this week to three years in prison for one case. That follows a 1 1/2-year sentence for the other.

She still faces two felony counts of drunken driving from the June incident. Those charges carry a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison.

A message left with her defense attorney Saturday afternoon was not immediately returned.
