Police arrest man with seven priors

Friday, March 27, 1998 | 3:25 a.m.

Joseph Donald Clichi, 48, was being watched by officers under funding provided by the repeat DUI offender grant.

He left his house for work Friday morning, stopping on the way to pick up a six-pack. By the time police could pull him over, officers say he was pretty well finished with his first beer of the day.

A preliminary breath test put his blood alcohol at 0.05 percent, half the 0.1 percent at which a person is presumed to be under the influence in Nevada.

But he faces charges of driving on a revoked license, possession of an open container, possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia. He was being held under $2,570 bail.

Police say he was arrested for DUI twice in the 1970s, three times in the '80s and twice in the 1990s.
