MILWAUKEE (WITI) — 40-year-old Kevin Hutchins, the Milwaukee man charged in connection with Milwaukee County’s 1,000th repeat drunk driving incident since 2010, pleaded not guilty on Friday, November 1st. His bail has been set at $200,000.

Hutchins was arrested early Tuesday morning, October 29th following a high-speed chase resulting in the injury of two Sheriff’s deputies.

Hutchins has two previous OWI-related convictions from 2008 and 2009. Court documents show in 2008 the man was traveling the wrong way on I-43 near the town of Vernon. His blood alcohol level registered .205.

In a subsequent letter to the judge, Hutchins admitted to committing his "second and last DUI." Hutchins told the court he "can never drink a drop of alcohol again."

If convicted on all charges in this case, Hutchins faces about 35 years in jail. Hutchins is due back in court November 19th.
