PLATTENVILLE— A man arrested by Assumption Parish deputies for his fifth DWI faces up to thirty years behind bars.

Jarvis Grayson Jr., 26, was arrested Thursday evening along La. 1 near Plattenville. 

The New Iberia man, deputies say, was driving recklessly before turning onto a private road. After deputies removed Grayson from the car, they smelled alcohol and marijuana, which was later confirmed by a K-9 unit. 

Deputies then seized suspected marijuana from Grayson's car. 

He was arrested and booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center. 

Grayson was booked on a fifth offense DWI, resisting arrest, flight from an officer and careless operation of a motor vehicle. 

He was most recently arrested in February on DWI charges in Baton Rouge.

According to Louisiana state law, all DWI offenses past the fourth instance carry a fine of $5,000 and a prison sentence of at least 10 years and a maximum of 30.
