Jury finds Warren man guilty of 15th drunken-driving charge

WARREN — A repeat drunken-driving offender will be sentenced the middle of next month, and he could spend years in prison.

A jury found Keith Urso, 50, of Monroe Street, guilty of his 15th drunken-driving offense and other charges today. The jury in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court deliberated 90 minutes before reaching its verdict.

Urso has been in county jail almost continuously since his Jan. 31, 2010, arrest.

He faces prison time of between two and 10 years. Judge Andrew Logan set sentencing for Nov. 16.

Urso showed no emotion when the verdicts were read. He also declined to comment afterward.

His attorney, public defender Anthony Consoldane, however, said he will appeal, citing what he called “the most one-sided case I’ve ever been involved in.”
