Man Arrested 153rd Time Will Plead Guilty
A Portsmouth, New Hampshire man has been arrested for the 153rd time, this time after he was accused of punching someone in the face over the weekend.
Forty-nine-year-old Portsmouth resident Paul Baldwin told a judge Monday he plans to plead guilty to the assault, along with trespassing and alcohol charges. He says he's had a long battle with alcohol and was trying to correct the problem during his most recent one-year jail term, which ended last week.
The Foster's Daily Democrat newspaper says Baldwin's record dates to 1984 and includes 152 other arrests, eight trespass orders, 75 citations, four Social Security aliases and 17 name aliases.
Prosecutor Rena DiLando says she didn't have time to read Baldwin's full criminal record because it's so long.

Giselle Bertozza believes her 72-year-old husband was driven to an early grave from the stress caused by years of sleepless nights. The Mannering Park woman says she and her late husband were driven mad by the frog's croaking just meters from their bedroom window. Mrs Bertozza claims the sleep deprivation ultimately ruined his health and he later died. Last week, after a few years of uneasy peace, another frog has lobbed up in the pond next door. Mrs Bertozza said she felt like the "torture had started again" reliving the nightmare they endured an amorous frog's calls for a mate. "It's like a tap dripping except you can't turn it off," she said.
