Steven Castanedo 8 DWI arrests, still a first-time offender

Steven Castanedo has been arrested for DWI eight times.

He has one DWI conviction.

A Manchester municipal judge convicted Castanedo, 52, of Ballwin, of careless driving for his first offense, when police reported he registered double the legal alcohol limit. His second arrest, in Illinois, netted a DWI conviction.

For his third arrest back in Missouri, he got another deal — a reduced charge of improper lane usage — in Valley Park Municipal Court.

He and his attorney declined to comment.

Castanedo has five arrests pending in three courts. In all cases, he's charged as a first-time offender.

Court records don't indicate what plea deals, if any, are being considered.
