A man who was found lying in a fetal position outside his car is being charged with drunk driving for the 4th time.

Thirty-seven-year-old Chadwick Wylie of La Crosse has three previous OWI convictions in the last six years.

Police who were called to a Kwik Trip store in La Crosse on Saturday discovered Wylie lying next to his car.

Wylie apparently tried to avoid being arrested, and may have swallowed a prescription drug before police arrived.

Surveillance video showed Wylie slowly falling to the ground as he was trying to get into his car at the Kwik Trip.
