Howard Clay Pasour, 28, of Bessemer City, is in jail on $2 million bond, awaiting a first court appearance this afternoon. In addition to the murder charge, Pasour also faces charges of aggravated felony death by motor vehicle, habitual DWI and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, said Gaston County District Attorney Locke Bell. Pasour's previous DWI convictions all occurred in Gaston County. Court records also show more than a dozen arrests on traffic, drug, larceny and charges. He'd been cited several times for driving with a revoked license. Pasour was 19 when he was first arrested for DWI in November 2002. The legal drinking age in North Carolina is 21. Two more DWIs came in May 2008, within two weeks of each other. On the first, May 17, he almost hit four people near a Food Lion in Cramerton, court records show. After he was asked to sign a form for an alcohol test, he "kept passing out," the records say.

They never stop on their own because they are psychopaths with no conception of right and wrong.
