State v. Johnson4/7/1995
dence to support the finding that defendant had prior criminal convictions punishable by more than sixty days' confinement. At the sentencing hearing, Agent Cabe identified and read into evidence a certified copy of defendant's criminal record which showed that on 18 March 1989, defendant was convicted of driving while impaired. Certified copies of court records are a proper method for proving prior convictions. N.C.G.S. § 15A-1340.4(e). Further, "a conviction of driving while impaired under G.S. 20-138.1, irrespective of the level of punishment imposed, constitutes a prior conviction of an offense punishable by more than sixty days' imprisonment for purposes of sentencing under the Fair Sentencing Act." State v. Santon, 101 N.C. App. 710, 712, 401 S.E.2d 117, 118 (1991). Accordingly, we find no error.
