Not good. A fourth DUI in Michigan while actively on probation for the third is about as bad a combination as it gets in the drunk driving context. The new DUI itself triggers a new criminal prosecution, and the probation violation from the third offense runs alongside it. He is now looking at two separate legal matters hitting at the same time.
