Two men will be spending at least 45 days in the parish jail after being sentenced for their third DWI offense.

Recently, in the Vermilion Parish Courthouse, Danny R. Merrill and Timothy J. Babineaux were sentenced.

Both men received a four-year suspended sentence, but were ordered to spend 45 days in jail without benefit of parole.

They will also be on a five-year supervised probation after serving their jail time. A fine of $2,000 each will have to be paid by both men.

The two men agreed to pay $150 per month over their probation until the fine is paid.

Babineaux, who is 32, will also have to complete 240 hours of community service.
