New Hampshire man arrested for 152nd time

A New Hampshire man accused of stealing a $1.99 can of beer from a convenience store is being held on $10,000 bail because prosecutors complained that this is the 152nd time he’s been arrested. Paul Baldwin, 48, has convictions for a wide variety of offenses, including theft, receiving stolen property, arson and criminal mischief. In addition to 152 arrests, he has amassed 75 police citations and eight trespass notices.

“I don’t need a lawyer,” he told Judge Sawako Gardner at his arraignment on the beer-can charge. “I’ve been in this court more than you have.”
