LOGAN -- Cache County prosecutors plan to hold three trials for a man accused of driving under the influence three times in three days.
The Herald Journal of Logan reports that prosecutors are using the unusual strategy in a bid to obtain a felony conviction against 41-year-old Daniel Kropf.
Utah law makes a diver's third DUI a felony - but only after the driver's been convicted twice before.
Prosecutors tried to file a felony charge against Kropf at the outset, but a judge ruled it was premature.
Instead, County Attorney James Swink informed a judge Monday he intends to seek separate DUI convictions one-by-one.
Authorities first booked Kropf into jail July 8. He bailed out the next day and was picked up again. Police say he was behind the wheel of a black Escalade when he was arrested for DUI a third time July
