A Kalispell man previously convicted of drunk driving in six cases and of criminal endangerment reduced from drunk driving in a seventh case has now been sentenced to yet more jail time after again being convicted of drunk driving shortly after being released.

Andrew Joseph Burrows, 42, was convicted of drunk driving in 1993, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2004 and 2007 and of criminal endangerment in 2005, according to court documents.

His sentences for the first four cases are unclear, but he was sentenced to the Montana Department of Corrections for 13 months to be followed by four years, suspended, for his 2004 conviction. Burrow’s 2005 criminal endangerment conviction violated his suspended sentence in that case, so he was given a new, combined sentence of two years with the Department of Corrections followed by 10 years, suspended.

His 2007 conviction then violated that sentence, resulting in a new sentence of five years to the Department of Corrections followed by the previously ordered 10 suspended years being reimposed in their entirety.

Burrows went on to violate that sentence again in June 2012, at which point he was given a five-year sentence to the Department of Corrections with recommended placement in the Connections Corrections Program — a residential chemical dependency treatment program — followed by prerelease, which provided transition back into the community where he would be allowed to complete the rest of his sentence.

However, Burrows was approached by a Flathead County deputy on Nov. 22, 2013, on Bison Circle Drive when the trooper saw Burrows’ vehicle running and, so he thought, unoccupied.

A court document states that Burrows smelled of alcohol, slurred his speech and appeared disoriented, swaying back and forth, also was having trouble removing his driver’s license from his wallet. He subsequently failed field sobriety tests.

Despite the new conviction, Burrows’ prior sentence was not revoked, with Flathead District Judge Robert Allison instead handing down a new sentence of three years with the Department of Corrections followed by two years, suspended, to run consecutive to his pre-existing sentence.

He was also ordered to pay a $400 public defender fee.
