A Turlock man earned himself additional time in prison for a driving under the influence conviction after failing to surrender to authorities on his appointed date. Curtis Herbert Tipton, 53, was sentenced to five years and eight months in state prison for driving under the influence causing injury and failing to appear in court while out on bail. Tipton was initially looking at a three year sentence, but the failure to appear for his court date earned him an additional two years and eight months, according to the Stanislaus County District Attorney’s Office.
