todd baker, 21 yo and on his 3rd DWI? HE'S GOING TO BE REAL HEALTHY FROM WALKING LONG DISTANCES. after he gets out of jail. what is he planning on doing with his life? he's too young to have such a record. his employment opportunities are going to be highly restricted in the future due to his stupidity of his past.
