ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) — A man sentenced to prison in 1990 for a drunken driving crash that killed two people has been arrested for a third time since the crash on suspicion of drunken driving.

A Madison County sheriff's deputy arrested Greg A. Barkdull, 51, of Anderson early Sunday after he said he saw Barkdull riding a motorcycle at 65 mph in a 45 mph zone.

A breath test determined Barkdull's blood-alcohol content was 0.11 percent, above Indiana's 0.08 percent legal limit for drunken driving, police said.

Barkdull was released from jail after posting bond. There was no phone listing for him in Anderson. Charges were still under review Tuesday, according to the Madison County prosecutor's office.

Barkdull pleaded guilty in 1990 to two counts of drunken driving resulting in death for causing the crash that killed Barbara Stoner, 22, and Doris Smith, 36. He was sentenced to two years in prison and six years of probation.

According to court records, he was charged again with misdemeanor drunken driving in December 2002 and felony drunken driving in January 2003. The last case resulted in a nearly 3-year prison sentence, a few months short of the maximum.

"That's three times since he killed two people," Brian Stoner, Barbara's brother, said Monday. "It's really getting kind of old. It's only a matter of time before he kills someone else. Here we are again."
