LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — A 47-year-old Lancaster County man was convicted last week of driving with a blood-alcohol level of more than twice the legal limit during a June 2019 incident in West Hempfield Township, according to the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office.

Leroy Black Jr., 47, was convicted last week of DUI (highest rate of alcohol) and driving under a DUI-related suspension, according to prosecutors. 

Black is a repeat DUI offender, prosecutors say.

He was stopped by police on the night of June 5, 2019, at a park in West Hempfield Township. Evidence determined he was driving with a blood-alcohol level of .169 percent shortly after he was arrested, according to testimony.

The state's legal limit is .08 percent, prosecutors say.

Black will be sentenced at a later date, following a background check.
